LIVERMORE, CA — Police are asking for the public’s help identifying a woman who was allegedly caught on home surveillance stealing about $11,000 in cash and property from inside an unlocked car in Livermore this month.
Police said the car was left unlocked and parked in the driveway of a Livermore home. The theft occurred sometime between the evening of March 25 and the early morning hours on March 26, police said.
Police say the case is a good reminder for residents to remove valuables from their car and to roll up windows and lock the doors before leaving any car unattended. Police said removing valuables from cars can greatly reduce the risk of theft.
