LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) - Laredo authorities are hot on the trail for an alleged scammer who’s left one victim out more than $4,000.

The Laredo Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for 49-year-old Rosa Mayela Zea Ramirez. Ramirez is wanted in connection with a pending felony arrest warrant, charging her with theft of property valued at more than $2,500 but less than $30,000.

On June 19, 2023, a victim filed a theft report with the Laredo Police Department. The victim reported that she had paid Rosa Mayela Zea Ramirez the sum of $5,280 for a spa body massager, but the spa machine was never delivered to the victim as promised.

In the months that followed, the victim made multiple attempts to contact Ramirez to resolve the matter, according to police. According to the victim, Ramirez consistently provided false information and made unfulfilled promises regarding the spa machine’s delivery, claiming that it was being imported from Mexico. After six months, the victim requested a refund.

Ramirez, in response, issued a check to the victim but with insufficient funds to cover the amount, police say. A year passed, during which Ramirez managed to return only $1,000 of the $5,280 owed to the victim. The victim said Ramirez said she would return the remaining amount but abruptly ceased all communication with the victim, according to police.

The Texas Department of Public Safety arrested David Arellano, 30 in the case.

DPS Dashcam footage shows several people fleeing from a pickup truck that was involved in a car chase this past Tuesday.

DPS confirms the people seen fleeing on camera were in the country illegally.

The driver was detained without incident.

DPS Sergeant Erick Estrada said the video shows the disregard smugglers have towards human life.

“They don’t care about these immigrant, they are more about the profit that they are winning. You know they don’t care about the lives of these people, or the lives they are endangering with these vehicle pursuits,” said Sergeant Estrada. “That’s why sometimes our DPS Troopers have to terminate these pursuits that if they get too dangerous, fortunately no one got hurt. The migrants were checked by medical and turned over to border patrol and he (driver) was arrested.”
