UPDATE: Seal Beach Area Tilly's Clothing Thief Captured

SEAL BEACH, CA — A thief suspected of stealing several hundreds of dollars worth of Tilly's clothing from 5 Points last week was identified, thanks to outreach over social media.

"Last Wednesday November 9, 2016, we posted an 'Attempt to Identify' on the below suspect who stole several hundred dollars worth of clothing at the Tilly’s at 5 Points," the Huntington Beach Police Department's information officers said over Facebook.

Yet, it was a second event of a robbery in process that yielded an arrest.

"On November 12, 2016, officers responded to a theft in progress call with the victim chasing the suspect," the Huntington Beach Police Officers said. "Officers made contact with the suspect who was identified as Crispin Henny."

Henny admitted taking the items from the victim and also told officers he was also on the “HBPD website” for stealing clothes from Tilly’s.

"Officers checked the surveillance photos from Tilly’s, which matched Henny," they said. He was arrested for the theft, and the HBPD has requested charges be filed by the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
