How a South Bay sushi spot caught a ‘serial dine-and-dasher'
(KRON) — The Campbell Police Department arrested a 'serial dine-and-dasher' in the South Bay on Sunday, according to Randy Musterer, who is the CEO of Sushi Confidential in San Jose and Campbell. Musterer said the man had stolen a total of almost $1,000 from both of his restaurants.
Restaurant employees were given a photo of the suspect in case he returned, and employees at the Campbell location saw him Sunday night donning a hat and hoodie.
Employees handed him his check as soon as they served his food, Musterer said. The suspect asked where the bathroom was and tried to sneak out the back.

A busser was waiting at the back exit, and the suspect saw him and walked back through the restaurant to the front. He left and jogged to his car, video posted by Musterer shows.
Musterer watched the situation unfold on security cameras and called the Campbell Police Department.
Musterer said he drove around town and eventually spotted the suspect near Coach's Sports Bar and Grill, located at 2240 S. Winchester Blvd. in Campbell. CPD responded and arrested him.
The suspect had an open arrest warrant, according to Musterer.
'One less thief on the streets—and hopefully, one less restaurant dealing with his scams,' Musterer said.
KRON4 reached out to the Campbell Police Department for confirmation and did not receive a response in time for publication.

San Jose fraud prevention expert charged with healthcare fraud
(KRON) — A woman who worked as a security manager at Nvidia and regularly spoke as an expert on fraud prevention was charged with submitting 167 fraudulent healthcare claims against the Santa Clara-based tech company, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office announced Friday. Faranak Firozan, 47, is accused of submitting the fraudulent claims between November 2020 and January 2024 to Nvidia's self-insured health plan, according to prosecutors. The DA's office said that many of the claims were either entirely made up or that bills were altered by changing service dates. 'Providers verified that services listed in her claims were either not performed at all or were duplicated claims,' the DA's office wrote. The scheme began to unravel in August 2024, according to prosecutors, after the California Department of Insurance received a suspected fraudulent claim referral from Cigna, which administered Nvidia's health plan. Motorcyclist suffers 'life-changing injury' in San Jose hit-and-run 'On her LinkedIn page, Firozan described herself as an expert in abuse prevention systems and fraud investigations for financial institutions,' the DA's office wrote. 'In 2020, she provided training on cyber laundering for the Information Systems Security Association Silicon Valley Chapter.' Firozan was charged with altering medical records with fraudulent intent and preparing false statements in connection with insurance claims. She also faces an added aggravated white-collar crime enhancement. Firozan is scheduled to be arraigned on July 15. If convicted, prosecutors said she faces years in prison and would be ordered to pay restitution. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
