<DIV>WHAS11) - Stolen court records are now apart of an ongoing police
investigation. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On Wednesday, Louisville Metro Police made an arrest, and during that
arrest they found 312 stolen court traffic files in that person's
possession. </DIV>
<P>The files are all from November 2003 and were being stored in the old jail
building under 24-hour surveillance, but somehow, someone managed to get them
out. </P>
<P>All of the files contain personal information of people in Louisville such
as, name, address, date of birth and in some cases social security numbers and
copies of drivers’ licenses. </P>
<P>Authorities say the biggest concern is to help those whose records were
stolen prevent identity theft. </P>
<P>The court is sending out letters to the 312 people affected. The letter
includes information to help prevent identity theft, identify it if it has
happened, and it includes information on a helpline that has been set up to help
those affected by the stolen court records. </P>
