Isanti woman charged for identity theft in Pine County connected to Isanti County theft by swindle case
Pine City Pioneer
An Isanti woman, Kimberly Sue Nordenstrom, 61, is being charged in Pine County for attempted identity theft.
According to the criminal complaint, a Pine County deputy responded to Brook Park Auto & Recycling in Brook Park on a fraud complaint that Nordenstrom attempted to take out a loan in the former owner’s name. They had sued her for embezzlement in 2022, where she was found using money from the business to pay for her personal bills, according to the criminal complaint.
As part of the settlement, Nordenstrom was removed from the business. They still owed Nordenstrom money and had a contractual arrangement. On July 22, 2025, Nordenstrom showed up at the business wanting to speak with the owner. Nordenstrom reportedly told the owner she was going to take out a $80,000 loan and have it deposited back into the business account. Nordenstrom said that when the money showed up, she wanted the owner to write her a check out of the business account. The owner stated they did not understand why Nordenstrom wanted to do it that way. The owner then reportedly left Nordenstrom in the back office to attend to customers.
