Thief Grabs Gold Chain Off 5-Year-Old
|
LOS ANGELES (CBS) --
Police are looking for a suspect who yanked a gold chain off a 5-year-old boy's neck in South Los Angeles Wednesday.
The boy and his father were coming out of a restaurant when police say a man on a bicycle rode past and grabbed the boy's chain.
The robbery was caught on tape and police have released the video in hopes of nabbing the thief.
The incident occured about 3:30 p.m. in the 5300 block of South Main Street, according to police.
Officials said the chain did not come off easily and the boy was not only pulled off the ground, but also momentarily dragged.
The suspect was described as a 21-year-old man, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, 145 pounds, with black hair and hazel eyes.
Anyone with information about the robbery or the suspect is urged to call Newton Division detectives Chris Marsden or Guillermo Medina at (323) 846-6572.
