Incident of the day
On Feb. 11 at approximately 9:30 p.m., officers responded to the 1200 block of Third Street Promenade regarding a theft.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with a Sephora loss prevention staffer who stated that he observed suspect Yijao Kong, of Los Angeles, who had several items in a store basket while also carrying a personal handbag.
After walking through the store floor conducting routine inventory, the staffer once more encountered Kong, noticing items inside the basket had significantly decreased. Some items were instead observed inside the personal handbag.
The Sephora staffer monitored Kong as she approached the store front and left without making an attempt to pay for the concealed merchandise. Store security detained Kong outside the store.
A search revealed she was in possession of $1,100 worth of merchandise. She was arrested for grand theft. Bail was set at $20,000.
