Detectives are busy contacting 69 victims of a prolific mail and identity thief who was caught on North Whidbey two weeks ago, according to the Island County Sheriff’s Office.

The suspect, Daniel Lura, 25, of Oak Harbor, pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court Monday to residential burglary, possession of stolen mail and 13 counts of possession of stolen property in the second degree.

Lura is being held in jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond.

Early on the morning of Jan. 28, Deputy Robert Mirabal responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle in the area of Green Road on North Whidbey. He stopped a vehicle driven by Lura, who was wanted on warrants.

Mirabal also said he noticed a large amount of mail inside the vehicle; he could see that several pieces had other people’s names on them, according to the deputy’s report.

Detectives obtained search warrants for the vehicle and recovered numerous pieces of mail addressed to residents on Whidbey Island and on the mainland, from Bellingham to Maryville, the sheriff’s office reported.

They also found a wallet containing Lura’s driver’s license along with the driver’s licenses for five other people, debit and credit cards belonging to five different people and checks from three different people, the report said.

Lura was also a suspect in a burglary at a Devries Road home on the same night and not far from where Lura was seen allegedly prowling mailboxes, the report indicates. The homeowner was out of the country, but a neighbor noticed that someone had broken into the house.

Lura allegedly left a distinctive shoe print behind.

Another neighbor saw a vehicle parked in the driveway the day before and asked the driver what he was doing. The neighbor took a photo of the vehicle’s license plate, which turned out to be Lura’s, a deputy’s report states.

If convicted of the charges against him, Lura could face up to seven years in prison under the standard sentencing range.

Lura’s criminal history includes federal convictions for theft of public property and possession of methamphetamine, court documents state.
