Richard Ray reports:

Thousands of medical records have apparently been stolen from Baylor Health Care System and Dallas police are seeking to file felony charges for identity theft.

Police said their investigation began this past Thursday at an apartment complex in far north Dallas.

“Officers were flagged down by an apartment manager regarding medical records found in a dumpster,” said Cpl. Gerardo Monreal.

Police reportedly searched an apartment at the complex and found more records in the garage.
