Theft
Two men allegedly stole $4,000 worth of coats and clothes from North Face on the 1600 block of Sherman Avenue at 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

They jumped into a 2004 Chevy Impala, where a woman driver was waiting for them. Police ordered the woman to turn off the car, but she refused. When police reached in the car to take the keys, she swatted them away. The two men then ran out the back of the car towards the Davis El station. Police caught up to one of the men, Raymond V.
