Palatine police are actively searching for Breider Iriarte Campomar, a suspect wanted in connection with a $73,000 bank impersonation scam. Campomar, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, was previously located in Pennsylvania and extradited to Cook County, where he was charged with theft by deception, a Class 2 felony. A Cook County judge released him under pretrial conditions, but he failed to appear in court this week, prompting the issuance of a new active search warrant. The alleged crime involved a sophisticated scheme where Campomar and two other men, Jose Luis Mateo and Fredduar Escobar Bautista, tricked a Mariano’s worker named David Lipsky. The victim received calls from numbers appearing to be from Chase Bank’s fraud department, who claimed his account was compromised and that federal authorities were involved. Believing the impersonators, Lipsky transferred $73,000 to a so-called safe account. Lipsky expressed anger and frustration upon learning of Campomar’s release and subsequent failure to appear, stating he is questioning whether he will see justice or restitution. While Campomar is the primary focus of this latest warrant, Mateo and Bautista also remain at large. Palatine police detectives have dedicated significant resources to the investigation, coordinating with out-of-state law enforcement to locate the suspects. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the location of Campomar, Mateo, or Bautista to contact the Palatine Police Department at 847-359-9000. The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding sophisticated banking spoofing scams targeting local customers.
