Police in Seal Beach are asking for the public’s help in identifying and locating an alleged antiques thief, authorities announced Monday.  

The July 20 incident, according to the Seal Beach Police Department, occurred at Alamitos Antiques, located at 211 Main Street, and was captured on the store’s surveillance cameras.  

The female suspect reportedly stole an $800 version of a neoclassical statue entitled “The Three Graces.”  

“Someone may want to let our suspect know that she’s featured on this page and after I post this, she’ll be featured on our Instagram page,” Seal Beach PD said in a post to Facebook.  

In that Facebook post, police also pointed out that their social media accounts have some 50,000 followers and that if the woman lives in the area, someone is likely to recognize her and contact authorities.  

“I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be featured on a page like this,” the post continued. “Posts like this get shared, re-shared and re-shared some more. Gotta love social media, right?” 

Anyone who recognizes the suspect was encouraged to contact Seal Beach PD Det. Jacob Otto at 562-799-4100 ext. 1109.  

The department’s post to Facebook did not stop there, however.  

“If you know this person and don’t want to call us – tell her to return the sculpture to Alamitos Antiques. An apology may also be a good idea,” the post reads. “If you have her phone number, send her a screenshot of herself with the caption, ‘OMG! Is that you on Seal Beach PD’s page?’” 

An argument between two men turned deadly early Tuesday morning as a man died from stab wounds in Lancaster, according to authorities.

In a news release, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said deputies responded to reports of a disturbance at a residence at the 800 block of W Avenue J-1. While en route, the deputies were informed that the call was for a possible arson.

Upon arrival, deputies spoke to a witness who said a man hopped a fence and fled the area into a parking lot. While searching the parking lot, authorities found a man suffering from stab wounds.

The man, identified only as a Black male, was transported to a local hospital where he later died. No other identifying information was immediately made available.

Investigations revealed that the man and another man were arguing in front of the home when it turned violent. The victim was stabbed and both men then fled the scene, with the victim later being found in the parking lot.

No additional details, including any description of a potential suspect, have been made available as of Tuesday afternoon.

Two tourists from Italy were robbed on a Metro train in Los Angeles on Monday night, according to a witness. 

Preliminary information indicates that the alleged robbery occurred near the Expo/Vermont station on the Metro E line around 11 p.m. 

A witness who only spoke Spanish told stringer service KNN that two suspects stole the pair’s phones and attempted to assault them. 

“We were sitting on the Metro and there were two Italian tourists…two people took their cell phones and tried to hit them,” the witness said.  “It was a very worrying situation for everyone on the train.” 

The tourists were not injured, according to initial reports.
