SUSPECTS SEEN ON VIDEO SHOPLIFTING CHINCHILLA FROM PET STORE

 

Virginia Beach Police need the public’s assistance in identifying two suspects that shoplifted a small animal from a pet store located in the 4300 block of Holland Rd., Virginia Beach.

On July 22, 2007 at 3:30 p.m., Police responded to a report of a larceny at the Animal Jungle store, where two suspects were seen on store surveillance video removing a chinchilla from its cage and placing it in the female suspect’s purse. The two suspects exited the store without paying for the animal.
