COVINA - Two females carjacked their victim as she sat inside her white Kia Forte in a Walmart parking lot February 25.

The woman sat in her car outside Walmart, 1275 N. Azusa Ave., around 11:10 p.m. when two females in hooded sweatshirts walked up to her and began talking with her. They then demanded her Forte, but the woman refused, according to Sgt. David Rodriguez of the Covina Police Department.
One of the suspects then brandished a knife tucked in her waistband at which point the victim relinquished her car, Rodriguez said.

The carjacking wasn’t reported to officers until 11:30 p.m.

The Forte was last seen being driven away east through the Walmart lot.

Both suspects are female Hispanics under 110 pounds and around 5 feet tall. They were described wearing hooded sweatshirts and jeans. One of the suspects carried a scooter with her. The ages of the suspects were not available, Rodriguez said.

Anyone who witnessed the carjacking or who may know the suspects is urged to call Covina Police at 626-384-5595.

COVINA - A porch pirate was caught on camera taking a package from a home February 12.

The woman casually walked across the front lawn, took the package and walked away through the neighborhood in the 500 block of Elspeth Way.

The package was delivered around 11 a.m. Several hours later, the resident arrived to pick up her package and she realized it was no longer there, said Covina Police Detective Sergeant Ray Marquez.
The resident, who wished her name not be used, discovered her package was stolen later that evening after reviewing her ADT security footage.

“I know use Amazon lockers to receive packages, or have them mailed to my place of employment,” the resident said. “I would just ask residents to call PD when they see someone suspicious. If you see something, say something.”

Marquez also agrees to have packages delivered to your workplace, if it is allowed, or to have them delivered to a trusted neighbor.

The suspect remains outstanding. She is only described as a white or Hispanic woman in her late 20s with blond hair, Marquez said.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect is urged to call the Covina Police Department at 626-384-5595.
