Theft, shoplifting: 600 block of Foothill Boulevard. A man walking toward his second-floor office at an area store at around 1:29 p.m. reported seeing two black males with large amounts of clothing in their hands. When he got to work, he checked video surveillance, which showed one man, about 20 years old and 6 feet tall wearing a black bandanna, white sweater and beige pants, and a second man of the same age, about 5 feet 7 with dreadlocks wearing a black sweater and jeans. The two men grabbed several polo shirts and jeans before running down a flight of stairs and out the front door. The witness followed the two men, who got into a gray Dodge Neon sedan with no license plates and left.

Burglary, vehicle; unauthorized use of access card: 1900 block of Foothill Boulevard. A woman parked her 2018 Mercedes GLS 340 at the gym at around 10:12 a.m. When she came back about an hour later, she saw the rear passenger window was smashed. Her purse, containing a wallet, cash and several credit and gift cards, had been taken from the passenger floor board. Shortly thereafter, the victim received notification from Capital One that multiple unauthorized transactions had been made, including one at a Chevron station. Surveillance footage from the facility where the woman had parked showed a gray 2017 Honda Accord approach the upper parking lot and park. A Latino male in his 20s or 30s, weighing about 200 pounds, was seen walking around vehicles before quickly entering his vehicle and driving away.

When he returned to the vehicle, he noticed his Dell laptop was missing from the floor board, where he’d left it under a bag.
