Stanford, suspected shoplifters arrested: At 6:55 p.m. February 21, two suspected shoplifters fled from a home improvement store on Fairway Drive with stolen merchandise, fighting off and assaulting a store security officer who was trying to stop them. They drove away at a high rate of speed, hitting a parked car in the parking lot as they left. A shopper witnessed the incident and got the license plate number of the suspects' vehicle for the investigating officers. Officers researched the license plate number, identified suspects, and went to Sacramento that evening to arrest them. The 23-year-old man and 25-year-old woman, both from Sacramento, were arrested on suspicion of robbery (using force against the security personnel to steal the merchandise), conspiracy, and child endangerment--they had three small children in the back of their car when they fled from the store.
