Earlier this week, alert night watch police officers located an occupied stolen vehicle in the 7-Eleven parking lot located at Orangethorpe Ave. and Placentia Ave., in Placentia.

When the police officers contacted the driver, he fled on foot but he was apprehended shortly thereafter.

The suspect, a 41 year old resident of Laguna Niguel, was found to be in possession of a loaded firearm, narcotics and identity theft related items, including a credit card skimmer device.

The suspect, a previously convicted felon, was arrested on various weapon, narcotic, and identity theft related charges.
