Thieves used a U-Haul truck to steal an electric scooter and clothes from an Irvine Target store

The Irvine Police Department is asking the community for help identifying two retail theft suspects.

On November 3, 2024, the suspects entered the Target store at the Irvine Marketplace and filled a shopping cart with an electric scooter and a hamper full of miscellaneous clothing.

Shortly after, they exited through a door at the rear of the store and pushed the cart full of stolen merchandise to their awaiting U-Haul truck.

The suspects included a white male wearing a black Puma sweatshirt and black pants, with a gray baseball cap and glasses and an African American woman in a white tank top and gray sweat pants.

Why criminals think they can steal from Target stores without having their pictures taken by surveillance cameras is a very good question. It is just a matter of time before these two are identified and arrested!

If you can identify the suspects, please contact mricci@cityofirvine.org.
