Irvine police Thursday asked for the public’s help identifying a suspect in the thefts of high-price sunglasses.
Three women stole seven pairs of sunglasses worth $3,700 Aug. 1 at the Sunglass Hut store at Irvine Spectrum Center, said Kim Mohr of the Irvine Police Department.
On Aug. 10, two of the three suspects went back to the scene of the crime and grabbed six pairs of sunglasses worth $3,645, Mohr said.
Police have identified one suspect as 26-year-old Maura Huiltron of Long Beach, who is at-large. Another suspect, who gave police a fake name when first contacted, was arrested later and identified as Faviola Vasquez, 15, of Long Beach, Mohr said.
Police are unsure if Vasquez, who was booked in Orange County Juvenile Hall, is 15, Mohr said.
The third woman remains unidentified.
Anyone with helpful information for investigators was asked to call Det. Matt Ricci at (949) 724-7189 or email him at mricci@cityofirvine.org.
