Walnut Creek wallet thieves identified
<p>In August, WCPD posted video of two females who were stealing wallets from customers at various downtown restaurants. WCPD needed assistance on identifying the two. As a result of that posting, several sources called and the two have been positively identified as:</p>
<p>Crystal Pratt, 32 year old black female, 507, medium build, out of Oakland.</p>
<p>Eva Coleman, 47 year old black female, 507, heavyset, out of Fairfield or Oxnard, CA.</p>
<p>In the course of the follow up investigation, it was determined a fourth incident occurred in Walnut Creek as well as other similar type crimes involving both suspects in other Contra Costa jurisdictions, Alameda County and Santa Clara County.</p>
<p>WCPD has obtained arrest warrants for both subjects. Pratt has a $285,000.00 arrest warrant for 6 counts of burglary, 3 counts of identity theft, and 4 counts of credit card fraud. Coleman has a $195,000.00 arrest warrant for 4 counts of burglary, 2 counts of identity theft and 3 counts of credit card fraud.</p>
<p>Investigators have not been able to locate either suspect. A probation search on Pratt’s residence in Oakland earlier this month, resulted in additional stolen property being located (credit cards stolen from restaurants) that will likely result in future criminal charges. </p>
<p>If you know either subject’s current whereabouts, you are encouraged to contact WCPD at (925) 935-6400. If you see either subject, you are encouraged to call the local police agency where the suspects are seen.</p>
