Suspected $600 Supreme Sweatshirt Swiper Nabbed: Cops

MISSION VIEJO, CA — Thanks to tips from area residents, the Mission Viejo Police Services were able to locate a suspect wanted in the case of the purloined $600 sweatshirt. Two weeks ago, an online reseller attempted to sell the pricey garment, meeting their buyer near La Paz and Marguerite.

Instead of paying the promised $600, the suspect flashed a knife and took off with the sweatshirt in question, police say.

A report was filed, and detectives began seeking the one responsible.

On Thursday, Orange County Sheriff's Department investigators and deputies served a search warrant within the city and arrested a robbery suspect.

As of this report, it was not yet known if the merchandise was located.

Though it looks like an ordinary Hanes sweatshirt, this brand is highly coveted for its "one of a kind" nature, according to apetogentlemen.com, who says: "The online resale market for rare Supreme is a thriving cottage industry, with items being sold for at least twice their original value, and often much more."
