San Antonio police are asking for the public’s help identifying a woman accused of injuring a loss-prevention worker at a North Side Target after she allegedly tried to walk out with unpaid merchandise. During a confrontation on March 9, the employee suffered deep cuts to his neck, and the suspect took off in a white Jeep, according to investigators. Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest.
What Police Say
According to WOAI, the woman walked into the Target at 746 NW Loop 410, placed several items in a bag and tried to leave without paying. A 33-year-old male loss-prevention employee stepped in to stop her. Investigators say she scratched him during the struggle, leaving deep cuts on his neck, then ran out of the store and drove away in a white Jeep.
How To Submit Tips
According to Crime Stoppers of San Antonio, anyone with information must submit tips directly through its system to qualify for a reward. Tips can be called in to 210-224-STOP (7867), submitted through the P3 Tips mobile app, or sent by texting "Tip 127" plus the information to CRIMES (274637). Crime Stoppers notes that rewards are paid only for anonymous, previously unknown information that leads to an arrest.
History At The Location
This is not the first time the Park North Target has been on law enforcement’s radar. As the Express-News reported in 2017, a robbery at the same 746 N.W. Loop 410 store involved another female suspect who allegedly put an arm around a loss-prevention worker’s neck during a theft attempt. That earlier case also led to a Crime Stoppers reward.
Bigger Picture
Recent crime data paints a mixed picture. Some numbers suggest overall shoplifting dropped last year, yet confrontations between suspected thieves and store workers are still sending people to the hospital and keeping detectives busy. A year-end update from the Council on Criminal Justice reported that shoplifting decreased in many large U.S. cities in 2025, although risks can differ significantly from city to city.
Anyone with information about the March 9 incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP (7867), use the P3 Tips app, or text "Tip 127" plus a tip to CRIMES (274637). Police say that witnesses who have video or surveillance footage are especially encouraged to come forward to help investigators identify and locate the suspect.
