In a recent crackdown on retail theft, the Folsom Police Department has reported a felony arrest at the Folsom Outlets. Last Saturday, two individuals were spotted by officers as they left the Nike store with multiple boxes of shoes, which were suspected to be stolen. The incident was announced in a social media post by the police department.
The suspects attempted to evade police by discarding the shoes and fleeing the scene. Jerrell Collis, a 31-year-old Sacramento resident, was apprehended by officers and is now facing felony theft charges. Running from the officers after tossing the shoes, police managed to apprehend Collis, but his accomplice managed to escape. However, police have identified the second suspect and expect to file charges shortly.
Diligent police work extended to the suspects' vehicle, where officers discovered additional stolen items. According to the Folsom Police Department's statement, a search of their car yielded merchandise from Nordstrom Rack, stolen a mere 15 minutes before the theft at Nike. The recovered goods, valued at over $1,600, have been returned to the respective businesses.
The Folsom Police Department commends the effectiveness of their proactive policing measures. In their online statement, they expressed satisfaction in thwarting another retail theft, saying, "Thanks to proactive policing, another retail theft was stopped in progress and accountability is underway."
