Do you recognize this vehicle? We need your help identifying the suspect and vehicle in these robberies. During one incident the victim was loading the trunk o...f her vehicle at Costco, when she was approached by a male driving a black Chevy pickup truck. The suspect got out of his pickup and asked for directions to Target. While the victim was giving him directions, the suspect stole her purse from her cart. A possible partial license plate number was 749 or 249. The suspect was described as white male adult, mid 20s. During the second incident, another victim was loading the trunk of her vehicle at Walmart. A male drove up in a black Chevy pickup truck, stopped and asked for directions to Target. While the victim was giving him directions, the suspect drove closer to her, grabbed her purse that was over her shoulder and began to drive away. She tried to maintain control of her purse causing her to fall down and sustain injuries. The suspect was described as light skin Hispanic male adult, mid 20s with black hair. The vehicle appears to be the same in both crimes. If you have any information, please contact Detective John Richardson at 831-758-7478 or email him at [email protected].
