On October 22, 2024, Manchester Police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) executed a search warrant at 1228 N Franklin St in Manchester. Information was received from a previous case involving Karla Molina Mendoza, providing false documents to other immigrants during that case. Joel Mejia Colindres was identified as working for two local employers under the alias “Christian Salinas.” Workforce records show he made at least $46,927.10 with one employer and over $5,000.00 from the other. The alias used and its identifiers belong to a true person’s identity in another state. Joel was issued a legitimate California ID in 2022. His fake ID and social security card were found in the home with other fictitious documents. Joel is currently wanted for two counts of identity theft and forgery, perjury, and possessing a fake ID. The suspects bail is set at $5,000 cash or surety. Any information on his current whereabouts don't hesitate to get in touch with Manchester Police.
Manchester Police was assisted on the case by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Delaware County Sheriff's Office.
