A 22-year-old woman was recently arrested on suspicion of targeting a Santa Rosa Valley resident with an Internet scam involving a nonexistent airplane, Ventura County Sheriff's Office officials said.
Kelly Bryant of Los Angeles was arrested Thursday in connection with the incident, which was reported in January, sheriff's officials said.
The ruse involved the sale of a fictitious airplane and a fake escrow-holding account controlled by a group of suspects, officials said.
The report of the incident led to a three-month investigation of the group and Bryant's arrest in April, officials said. She was booked into Ventura County jail and released the same day on bail, officials said.
The investigation is ongoing.
