This past weekend, on Saturday and Sunday mornings, Torrance Police Patrol Officers responded to Sam’s Club located at 2601 Skypark regarding thefts from vehicles. The first theft occurred at approximately 9:45 AM, when the victim’s wallet was stolen from her car after she momentarily walked away to return a shopping cart. The second theft occurred the next day at approximately 10:30 AM when a victim’s purse was stolen from the front seat of her car while she was loading groceries. Victims and witnesses from these incidents were able to provide descriptions of both the suspect and his vehicle.
