Booze Thefts

We have had what seems like more reported thefts of alcohol from local markets of late. The most recent being from the Ralph's at 1101 W. Huntington Dr. in West Arcadia on Friday night, March 6th, at about 8:00 PM. A male and female suspect entered the store and selected about $500.00 in champagne and vodka, stuffing the bottles into jackets and a backpack before fleeing the store. The theft was caught on video tape and discovered on Saturday. Similar crimes have occurred at this same Ralph's and at the Pavilions, also in West Arcadia. Economy, price of booze? Who knows...
