Apparently a suspect was too busy stealing at the Outlets at Orange to see the OCDA’s giant billboard in the middle of the shopping center that reads “Crime Doesn’t Pay in Orange County.”

Thankfully, undercover officers from the California Highway Patrol’s Border Division Organized Retail Crime Task Force and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office understood the assignment and arrested him – right under the OCDA’s billboard.

The OCDA warned the out of town criminals – crime doesn’t pay in Orange County. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

When we put up billboards across Orange County and on major freeways coming into our county warning thieves that if they steal, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office will prosecute, it wasn’t just a catchy slogan. We mean it.
