Los Angeles:
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Topanga Area Detectives is
asking for the public’s help in identifying two theft suspects
regarding two separate crimes involving the same department store.
On December 8, 2009, at around 4:30 p.m., a theft occurred in the 19700
block of Vanowen Street. Two suspects entered the department store.
Once inside, the suspects filled a shopping cart with the merchandise
and left the department store without paying for the items.
About a month later, on January 16, 2010, at around 7:10 p.m., the same
suspects returned to the same department store and filled a shopping
cart with merchandise. Once again both suspects left the store without
paying for the items.
The
first suspect is described as a male, Hispanic, bald, 5’9” tall,
weighing 210 pounds. In December he was seen in with a goatee, wearing
a black shirt and black pants. In January he was seen with a mustache
and wearing a “Dodger” blue thermal with white lettering “LA” on the
upper left portion of the shirt.
The second suspect is described as a male, 5’6” tall, weighing 170
pounds. He was last seeing wearing a multi-colored dark cap, black
shirt and black pants.
Photographs of the suspects are available through Media Relations Section at 213-486-5910.
