The suspected getaway car…

Investigators said a male suspect waited behind the wheel of the car while the theft was made. If you can ID these subjects Officer Bertolozzi at tbertolozzi@walnutcreekpd.com would like to hear from you.

      • Sorry- did not see pic when email alert came thru on smart phone …but picture came thru now on my tablet. Question: aren’t Apple products coded to where they can be tracked when they’re activated? If so, why isn’t this detering all the thefts from Apple stores?

        • Not a problem, GT, wanted to make sure everything working properly on our side. As for Apple, there’s a spirited discussion underway on our Facebook about this. Consensus is yes, you’re right about the anti-theft tech, but it doesn’t seem much of a deterrent. We’d like to know why, perhaps a law enforcement officer could fill us in on after-market demand!

  1. Curious question. If you are a shopper inside an establishment, and this happens, are you legally allowed to attempt stopping an individual? I’m talking about a situation that it is absolutely obvious they are stealing, not just assuming they might be. Situation like this or like the Lulemon thefts. I know that companies usually fire employees who physically intervene, but what about citizens?
