The employee’s perceptions were proved accurate when she approached the three young males to offer her help in selecting items for purchase and reached for garments being held by one of the boys.

Less than an hour later, the suspects arrived at a second Dick’s Sporting Goods location in Oxnard. When they attempted to enter, however, they were “turned away at the door,” as the Oxnard location had been made aware of the prior event in Thousand Oaks… Crime Voice
