Mission Viejo Woman Robbed
In Mission Viejo, a 38-year-old man was arrested after police allege that he pulled a necklace off a woman’s neck and fled away on a skateboard. This apparently occurred in broad daylight in the middle of the afternoon at around 330pm. The victim, who was in her 60’s, was approached by the alleged attacker and he took off her necklace and fled the scene.
Then about two hours later, a man was detained and arrested and then taken into custody on suspicion of robbery, when he was found hiding in a brush area. It is unknown if the police recovered the necklace.
