County Employees Arrested for Stealing from Deceased Residents' Estates

Duo reportedly stole thousands in cash as well as documents and valuables from at least 20 estates.

Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested two defendants Friday morning for stealing from the estates of deceased people they administered as public employees, announced United States Attorney Melinda Haag and Stephanie Douglas, special agent in charge of the FBI office in San Francisco. 

The charges were contained in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury Thursday and unsealed Friday after the arrest of Mandy Natchi Yagi, 54, of San Mateo, and Peter Wong, 43, of Daly City.            

San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told Patch the indictment charges Yagi and Wong with three felonies.
