The Irvine Police tracked down a man who stole an expensive watch and arrested him

Over the weekend, police officers investigated a robbery case where a victim had an expensive designer watch stolen from him, according to the Irvine Police Department.

Fantastic teamwork between the Irvine Police Department’s Patrol Division, Spectrum Officers, and Directed Enforcement Team resulted in the timely arrest of Darnell Keishaun Richardson, 23, of Lake Forest, for robbery.

The stolen timepiece was returned to the thankful owner.

“Hickory dickory dock, a suspect ran away with a wrist-worn clock but failed to realize it is never the right time to commit crime in Irvine.”
