A group of thieves took $50,000 worth of items from a California Gucci store after overpowering a security guard in a robbery, police say.
A group of masked thieves in California pushed past a security guard and stole $50,000 worth of merchandise from a Gucci store last week, police said Tuesday. Reserve officers with the San Jose Police Department were working a second job at the Valley Fair Mall on Oct. 5, when they responded to an organized retail theft at the luxury retail store, authorities said.
The heist took less than a minute, according to store security footage. A reserve office detained one of the suspects, Shawn Pruitt, a Henderson, Nevada, resident. Pruitt, 27, allegedly resisted and allegedly attacked the officer by throwing several punches. A mall security guard assisted the officer and Pruitt was taken into custody after a brief struggle, police said. Two purses were recovered. The other suspects fled prior to additional officers responding.
