Sherman Oaks: The Los
Angeles Police Department Van Nuys Area detectives are looking to
identify a female, who stole a victim’s wallet from her purse,
while dining at a restaurant in Sherman Oaks.

The theft of the wallet occurred on January 14, 2020. The female
suspect subsequently used the victim’s credit cards from the
wallet to make purchases at three different retail locations in
Van Nuys, Northridge, and Pacoima.
In addition to the credit cards the wallet also contained her
family’s diamond engagement ring, which was also stolen.

The suspect entered the restaurant, while the victim was dining
with other family members. The suspect sat behind the victim and
reached in to her purse, which was hanging from the back of her
chair and removed the wallet.

In one of
the videos the suspect is wearing the victim’s ring on her right
hand. Partial video shows the suspect possibly drives an unknown
white mid-size four door sedan.
