Southern California theft suspect arrested with truck full of stolen merchandise
A suspect was arrested for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from Southern California stores.
Earlier this week, police officers responded to a Target store in Chino after security reported an ongoing theft.
The male suspect had loaded a shopping cart filled with merchandise and left the store without paying, officers said.
The suspect loaded the stolen goods into a U-Haul truck and fled the area. Police later spotted the truck on the 60 Freeway and pulled the driver over.
Inside the box truck, over $1,500 worth of stolen merchandise was found. Police said the suspect, identified only as a Gardena resident, was allegedly responsible for over $33,000 worth of retail thefts in other neighborhoods.
