A US fraudster who was caught by the serial numbers in her breast implants earlier this month, was sentenced yesterday to 160 days in jail.
Nicknamed the “Breast Implant Bandit”, Yvonne Pampellonne used another woman’s identity to fund her breast enlargement/replacement and liposuction at the Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery.
The 30-year-old Californian was found guilty of burglary, grand theft and identity theft after having undergone $17,000 worth of surgery under a fake name.
Suspicions were raised after Pampellonne failed to turn up for follow-up treatments, but police were able to track her down by using the serial numbers in her old implants.
