The Westminster Police have released pictures of a thieving pair involved in a burglary, with the hope of identifying them.
The suspects are a man and woman who appear to be Hispanic. The man has a slim build. He was wearing blue jeans and a long-sleeved gray shirt with a zippered collar. He was also wearing a tan baseball cap with a white “Los Angeles” logo. The woman was wearing blue jeans and a black long-sleeved top. She has blond hair pulled back in a bun at the nape of her neck.
The suspects were apparently driving a small gray four-door car. Google Images identified the car as a 2012-2014 Toyota Prius.
If you know these individuals or have any information regarding them, please contact Detective Ramirez at DRamirez@westminster-ca.gov.
