Vallejo Kohl’s store shoplifter pulls gun on loss prevention agent
Vallejo CA Jan 21 2018 A suspect who was confronted by a security guard at Kohl’s for allegedly stealing merchandise brandished a weapon and fled, according to Vallejo police.
At approximately 12:45 p.m. on Wednesday at the Kohl’s on Admiral Callaghan Lane, a loss prevention officer said he witnessed a man putting “numerous pairs of jeans” into a black bag. The man is described as being a black male, bald, 6-foot, 260 pounds, wearing a white T-shirt.
As the suspect approached the front of the store, the security guard confronted him and he put down the bag. According to police, the suspect began to “bait” the security guard by taunting him to take it outside.
As the security guard called the police, the suspect grabbed the bag and ran out of the store and got into a white Ford Fusion with dealer plates. The guard approached the car in order to take a picture and the suspect allegedly pointed a semi-automatic pistol at him through an open window.
The guard retreated and suspect was last seen heading toward Columbus Parkway.
Anyone with information about this crime is encouraged to call the Vallejo Police Department, (707) 648-4321.
