Yesterday, a person driving home from South Coast Plaza with some new purchases noticed they were being followed home by another car.
The person called the Irvine Police Department and their police officers were able to find the car following them and stopped it.
After an investigation, officers believed the two men following the reporting person were part of an organized crime group. Two Colombian Nationals were arrested and booked on conspiracy charges with a request for bail enhancements.
Be aware of your surroundings when leaving a bank or shopping center with expensive items. Watch for people following you and report suspicious behavior to the police.
