A man who allegedly stole approximately $55,000 worth of merchandise from Target stores across Southern California was arrested in Canyon Country Friday.
Around 7:30 p.m. Friday, deputies responded to a theft at the Target located on the 19100 block of Golden Valley Road in Canyon Country, said Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“A male adult known to be a repeat theft offender entered the store, selected several items from the display shelves, and exited the store through a rear exit without making an attempt to pay for the items,” Arriaga said. “The male then entered a waiting black BMW with the items and fled in an unknown direction.”
Deputies conducted a search of the area and located the vehicle on Jason Drive and Via Princessa, Arriaga said.
“A male passenger and female driver were detained, later positively identified as the suspects,” Arriaga said.
Approximately $2,600 in merchandise had been taken from the store, however the male suspect had been responsible for several thefts accumulating to approximately $55,000 in value across Southern California from the retail business, Arriaga said.
Jeaman Lee, 39, from Van Nuys, was arrested for felony grand theft, Arriaga said.
The driver, Anya Bence, 29, was arrested for grand theft and conspiracy to commit a crime, both felonies.
They were booked into the SCV Sheriff’s Station and remain in custody as of Wednesday, according to Arriaga.
