Fremont Woman Arrested For Urban Outfitters Theft

PALO ALTO, CA – A 26-year-old Fremont woman was arrested Monday in Hayward in connection with a recent theft at Urban Outfitters in Palo Alto, but a cohort in the crime is not yet identified, according to police.

An employee at the store in Stanford Shopping Center called police July 10 at 2:45 p.m. after reportedly seeing two women steal "numerous articles of clothing," stuff them into bags and then run from the store, the Palo Alto Police Department said on Thursday.

A witness followed the suspects and obtained the license number of the getaway car, which led to the arrest of Tonisha Harris, police said.

She was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail on charges of suspicion of felony commercial burglary and a probation violation.

"The other female suspect has not yet been identified and is outstanding," the department said.

The Urban Outfitters incident was the second retail theft that occurred in the last 10 days at Stanford Shopping Center. Three women, two from Antioch and one from Bay Point, were arrested July 17 for suspected shoplifting from Victoria’s Secret, police said, adding that the incidents are not connected.
