Two US women fugitives fall in Cebu OCTOBER 16, 2012

Agents of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) arrested two American women wanted on a string of criminal fraud charges in the US.

Immigration Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. said Lucretia Beth Brown, 45, and Andrea Jaine London, 51, are now detained at the BI jail in Bicutan, Taguig following their arrest last Oct. 9 in Cebu City by operatives from the agency’s fugitive search unit (FSU).

David said the women will be deported to the US where they are wanted to stand trial before a US district court in eastern Texas which earlier issued warrants for their arrest.

Both of them were charged with conspiring to conceal records, make false statements and not report multiple sales of a company where they had previously worked.

from another article, guess they just didnt live well enough in "isolation"

as they appeared to be caught

The fugitives, who reportedly wanted to live in isolation, were arrested on October 9 in their apparent hideout in Cebu -

a house located in a newly-built mountaintop subdivision, which is sparsely populated and far from the city.

I was trying to figure out why such petty crimes put these females on the top of America's Most Wanted to the point where local BI officials would even care. I suspect that this was an important part of the story:

it appears that the women were employed by a gun store

Perhaps that means that their crime was now federal instead of state?

A U.S. District Court is Federal.

When I read that article a few days ago, I did a little looking then to find out what they had done. Apparently rumour has it that they were suspected of supplying "terrorist groups" with guns and ammunition and fudged the paperwork to hide their trail.

That would definitely put you on the US list of priority people to catch up with.
