The Irvine Police Department has issued a #WantedWednesday alert for two suspects involved in a theft at a local Best Buy. The duo is accused of stealing several Apple products on March 17. One of the suspects distracted employees while the other used a bag to conceal the products they swiped from the store. They reportedly entered the store multiple times over an hour to carry out their theft, according to the Irvine Police Department.
The authorities have called on the public's aid in apprehending the suspects. "If you can help us locate these suspects, please email [email protected]," as per the Irvine Police Department.
The Irvine Police's appeal is evidential of law enforcement's ongoing push to leverage social media in crime solving. The #WantedWednesday initiative seeks not just to catch those who have slipped through the hands of justice, but also to send a clear message: that community and police can work together to safeguard their environment against such acts of theft.
