Arcadia PD has experienced several purse thefts between 12/16/14
and 2/25/15, occurring in the parking lots of Asian markets.
The purse theft victims have all been Asian females who have had
their purses taken from the trunk area of their car or the front
passenger’s seat. The suspect opens the passenger door and
removes the victim’s purse before fleeing to an awaiting vehicle.

descriptions.
Please be aware of your surroundings. Always lock your car doors,
even if you are sitting inside. Keep your purse and valuables out of

an open trunk where it can be easily stolen.
