Police detectives need your help identifying this SAPD “Wanted Wednesday” suspect.
Earlier this month, the suspect, a woman, was captured on video surveillance as she entered the Target store located at 3300 S. Bristol St. She proceeded to steal hundreds of dollars’ worth of apparel and health and beauty products.
The suspect concealed the stolen items in a tote bag and, when she was confronted by a loss prevention officer, she managed to flee the store with the merchandise.
Suspect Description:
- Female, white, 20-25 years old, 5’3”, 120 lbs., wearing a white crop top shirt, and brown pants
Anyone with information on the suspect’s identity/whereabouts is asked to contact Detective Rashad at (714) 245-8551 or RashadWilson@santa-ana.org.
In California, the penalties for theft depend on the value of the stolen items and the circumstances of the theft. Since you mentioned stealing hundreds of dollars’ worth of apparel and health and beauty products, this would likely fall under petty theft or grand theft.
- Petty Theft: If the total value of the stolen items is $950 or less, it is considered petty theft. This is typically charged as a misdemeanor, with penalties including:
- Up to 6 months in county jail
- Fines up to $1,0001
- Grand Theft: If the total value exceeds $950, it is considered grand theft. This can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances and the defendant’s criminal history. Penalties for grand theft can include:
- Misdemeanor: Up to 1 year in county jail
- Felony: 16 months, 2 years, or 3 years in state prison21
Additionally, repeat offenders may face harsher penalties under California’s Three Strikes Law2.
