released a video<\/a> on social media Thursday of a thwarted theft in which four suspects were caught red-handed trying to flee from a store with a shopping cart filled with stolen clothing.<\/p>\nThe shoplifting incident happened on Wednesday at around 2:30 p.m. at a local Kohl’s store.<\/p>\n
Security cameras from inside the store captured the suspects, three men and one woman, browsing the aisles, grabbing pairs of Levi\u2019s jeans and other apparel, and piling the items high into a cart.<\/p>\n
With the cart brimming, the group walked out of the store.<\/p>\n
As they approached the parking lot, their getaway van was waiting and backing out of a parking spot, security video showed. The suspects started to run to the van, but within seconds, two Chino Police Department patrol cars surrounded them.<\/p>\n
The suspects jumped into the van and drove off with the van doors still open, passing another police car.<\/p>\n
The CPD said officers responded to the theft in progress and were able to connect the case to a prior theft involving the same suspect vehicle.<\/p>\n
The suspects drove onto the freeway but with help from the CPD\u2019s Real Time Crime Center, officers were able to quickly locate the van.<\/p>\n
Officers canvassed the area and arrested all four suspects, one of whom had a felony no-bail warrant.<\/p>\n
The police video \u2014 set to the Jane\u2019s Addiction song \u201cBeen Caught Stealing\u201d \u2014 showed the suspects in handcuffs, being loaded into police cars.<\/p>\n
Police said the stolen merch was recovered and returned to the store, and no one was hurt in the heist.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t commit crime in Chino,\u201d the department\u2019s social media post read.<\/p>\n
