Police reported recovering thousands of dollars worth of athletic shoes from a car linked to a theft from the San Francisco Premium Outlets in Livermore last week.
A 30-year-old Los Angeles resident was subsequently arrested on suspicion of organized retail theft and receiving stolen property while another suspect, a 34-year-old man, has been identified in the case but not yet arrested, Livermore police said in a social media post Monday.
The investigation began after outlets security called city police to report a man running out of the shopping center with bags full of merchandise and hopping into a vehicle on June 24. Site security personnel tried to speak with the car’s occupants before they drove off, police said.
Livermore police officers soon found the car parked behind a nearby church. Upon searching the vehicle, they reportedly found 28 pairs of Nike shoes valued at more than $4,000, more than a dozen New Balance shoe sets valued at over $1,000 and eight pairs of Skechers valued at more than $750.
Editor’s note: The suspects’ names are being withheld in accordance with Embarcadero Media Foundation’s policy on identifying arrestees for certain crimes before formal charges are confirmed to be filed by prosecutors.
