Can you help police identify this Bimbo?

The Department of Motor Vehicles arrested a man accused of identity fraud last month after he tried to apply for a duplicate Nevada ID card under the name "Frank Anthony Bimbo."

Authorities said facial recognition technology led to the man's arrest Nov. 22. He is connected to at least 11 different identities, including 10 in Nevada, between 1997 and 2007.

The man, who is being held at the Clark County Detention Center as a John Doe, is between 23 and 38 years of age. He has been charged with multiple felonies related to fraud and has several other warrants for his arrest under other identities.

Bail for the man was set at $35,000. He has three initial court appearances scheduled in January.

If you have information on this man, please call the DMV at 702-486-8626.
