The Irvine Police Department is appealing to the public for assistance in identifying a suspect who was caught on video stealing chewing gum worth $1,800. The incident occurred on January 27, when an unidentified female entered a store and brazenly filled bags with various types of chewing gum before casually walking out without paying.

This audacious act of shoplifting was captured on video surveillance, revealing the suspect’s lack of selectivity when it came to choosing her gum. The footage showcases a swift and deliberate spree, leaving both store owners and law enforcement baffled by the boldness of the crime.

Authorities suspect that this sticky-fingered criminal may not be limited to Irvine alone. Similar incidents involving theft have been reported in other areas within Orange County, suggesting a potential pattern that extends beyond city limits, according to local police.

The Irvine Police Department is urging individuals with any information that could lead to the identification and capture of the suspect to come forward. If you recognize the individual or have any details pertaining to her whereabouts, please contact the Irvine Police Department via email at
