Transient shoplifter pulls knife on Rite-Aid security www.privateofficer.com
Santa Monica CA April 16 2012 Officers responded to the 2400 block of Pico Boulevard — Rite Aid — regarding a report of a robbery that just occurred.
When officers arrived, they spoke with a security guard who told them that he was working undercover when he saw the suspect take several small bottles of wine and place them into his backpack before walking out of the store.
The guard followed the suspect, who allegedly took a fighting stance and proceeded to threaten the guard with bodily harm.
The guard retreated into the store and called police. Officers conducted a search of the area. They eventually detained the suspect, who was positively identified by security, and placed him under arrest for robbery and a probation violation.
He was identified as George Valdovinos, 21, a transient. His bail was set at $50,000.
