Man Charged With Stealing Suitcase Full Of Wigs For Cancer Patients

(STMW) -- An Uptown man has been charged with stealing a suitcase containing more than $90,000 worth of human hair wigs for cancer patients from an O'Hare baggage claim.

Noel Fulgencio, 35, was arrested about 2:15 p.m. Friday in the 3000 block of West Lawrence after authorities identified him as the person who took the suitcase from an O'Hare baggage claim July 28, according to a statement from Chicago Police.

Officers were able to recover the suitcase and the wigs during the course of their investigation.

Fulgencio, of the 4800 block of North Magnolia, is charged with one felony count of theft of property valued between $10,000 and $100,000, according to police. He was expected to appear in bond court Saturday.
