Police began investigating the case in early July after a public works employee filed an identity-theft report. ``Our investigation led us to suspect somebody from their office, and we used internal Web activity monitoring to determine she was using her computer for illegal purposes,'' Stokes said. The investigation is ongoing, and detectives are trying to determine how many other city employees might be victims. They are asking city employees to check their credit histories and notify the Police Department if they find out they've been victimized. Police are also working to find whether the case is related to another arrest made Tuesday - of a man suspected of stealing a different public works employee's identity. ``This case highlights something we tell the public all the time: Identity theft can occur anywhere, and the person who's the identity thief can be anyone,'' Stokes said. ``What we're finding out more often than not, information is compromised internally, whether it's at banks or businesses or even the place you work at - more so than (by) a stranger looking over your shoulder.''
