SLPD Arrests Two Suspects in Costco Purse Snatch Robbery 
On June 17th, a victim was robbed of her purse in the Costco parking lot on Davis Street. The getaway car was captured on a surveillance camera, and investigators were able to obtain a license plate.
Through leads, Detectives tracked two suspects, who were captured on surveillance cameras using the victim's credit card from serval businesses in the Bay Area.
On June 23rd, after numerous days of surveillance, SLPD Detectives safely apprehend both suspects at the Walmart store on Davis Street in San Leandro. A search of the getaway vehicle revealed the victim's wallet. A subsequent search warrant served on the suspect's residence resulted in a recovery of a ghost handgun. Ghose guns have no serial or manufacture imprints, making it nearly impossible to trace the weapon.
"SLPD Detectives spent several investigative hours in developing leads, identifying both suspects, and obtaining evidence that led to the arrest and recovery of the victim's wallet. We were grateful to provide a positive outcome to the victim," said Lt. Ali Khan.
