An Arizona man is behind bars after he allegedly met people to buy luxury bags he found online, then fled with the bags without paying.<\/p>\n

The Irvine Police Department said on social media<\/a> that detectives connected two similar thefts, one that occurred at Woodbury Town Center earlier this month and another at Carlson Avenue and Campus Drive Monday morning.<\/p>\n

In the first incident, the man took a Louis Vuitton bag that was for sale on OfferUp, while Monday\u2019s theft involved a Dior handbag that was listed on Facebook Marketplace, police said.<\/p>\n

An Arizona man was arrested for allegedly stealing luxury bags on Jan. 26, 2026. (Irvine Police Department)<\/p>\n

In both cases, a man took the bag and ran away.<\/p>\n

On Monday, however, detectives surveilled a friend of the suspected thief and followed them to a Huntington Beach apartment, then saw a \u201cvehicle quickly flee the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The California Highway Patrol pulled that vehicle over on the 110 Freeway, and Tralin Nhjheym Newman, 22, was found lying in the back seat, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dior purse was found in the car and later returned to the victim,\u201d police said. They did not elaborate on the status of the Louis Vuitton bag.<\/p>\n

Newman was booked into the Orange County Jail and faces robbery charges. He did not appear in a search of jail records Monday night.<\/p>\n
