Real estate agent suspected in thefts

Irvine police arrested a Newport Beach real estate agent Friday in

connection with a series of thefts from homes up for sale.

Diana Prosser, also known as Diana Prosser-Grannan, is suspected

in as many as 30 thefts in Irvine with more than $50,000 in property

missing, police said. That property was recovered in her Big Canyon

home, police said.

Prosser is accused of using her position as a real estate agent to

gain access to homes for sale and help herself to expensive jewelry,

cash and designer clothing. Each of the homes had a lockbox to give

access to agents.

Thefts may have occurred in other cities also, police said.

Irvine police are putting the recovered items on display Thursday.

Anyone who had personal items stolen while his or her home was on the

market may contact Rhonda Muter at (949) 724-7160 to schedule an

appointment to view the recovered items. Anyone with information on

the thefts is asked to call Det. Steve Randall at (949) 724-7137.
