2 retail theft suspects arrested in Orange County
Two suspects were arrested for thefts targeting retail stores in Orange County.
On May 3, security officers at the Irvine Spectrum mall reported a 'suspicious person' seen on mall premises.
Irvine police arrived at the scene and spotted the male suspect driving away from the area while committing 'multiple vehicle code violations.'
Officers eventually pulled the vehicle over and found two men inside — Cristian Hernandez Jaramillo, 36, and David Zamir Zuarez Ramos, 28, both Ontario residents.
Inside their car, police found over $1,200 worth of stolen merchandise from Lululemon and Vuori stores.

Two lined booster bags were also found. Booster bags are typically lined with material that provides electromagnetic shielding for security tags, allowing thieves to steal merchandise without detection.
Both men were arrested for burglary, possession of burglary tools, organized retail theft, receiving stolen property, and driving without a license. They were booked at the Orange County Jail.
No further details were released as the investigation remains ongoing.
