the Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire Division are asking
for the public’s assistance in identifying pick pocket
suspects.

On October 23, 2015, around 6:20 p.m., three suspects entered a
business located in the 8500 block of Beverly Boulevard. The first
suspect followed the victim throughout the business. The first
suspect stood next to the victim and appeared as though she was
shopping, while attempting to remove the victim’s wallet from her
purse. The second and third suspects stood next to each other and
appeared to be shopping near the victim, while the first suspect
attempted several times to take the victim’s wallet from her
purse.

When the first suspect removed the victim’s wallet, the second
suspect walked over to the first suspect and looked through the
victim’s wallet. The third suspect walked away. The first suspect

wallet and phone were missing until she was checking out at the
cash register.
