Noem was dining in Washington, D.C. when her purse went missing. Authorities believe at least two people worked together on a string of purse robberies in the city.

Two people were arrested in connection to the Easter Sunday theft of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's purse, authorities said.

A man accused of stealing a purse from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been charged in federal court with aggravated identity theft, robbery and fraud.
