St. Francisville police are actively seeking the public's assistance in locating Chau Minh Phuc Tran, a woman wanted in connection with an alleged theft involving $5,200. Tran is currently at large and has an active arrest warrant charging her with one count of theft of $5,000 or more but less than $25,000, which is classified as a felony. The investigation stems from a complaint received by the St. Francisville Police Department on July 21, 2026, regarding an alleged theft by fraudulent means. According to police reports, the victim attempted to purchase supplies through Facebook Marketplace, believing the seller's page to be legitimate. The victim was directed to send a photograph of a completed check from her company. The suspect allegedly used this image to fraudulently mobile-deposit the check, but the promised products never arrived. The reported financial loss to the victim is $5,200. Authorities are urging residents to exercise caution when engaging in online transactions. Police specifically warn against sending photos of completed checks to unverified individuals, noting that such images can provide sufficient information for fraudulent mobile banking deposits. Residents are advised to double-check the legitimacy of online sellers before handing over money or financial information. Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Chau Minh Phuc Tran or details about this case is asked to contact the St. Francisville Police Department directly at 225-635-4177. The investigation remains ongoing as law enforcement continues to search for the suspect.
