Three suspects were arrested Monday in Huntington Beach in what police are calling an “organized grand theft” operation.
According to the HBPD, the incident took place in the 7000 block of Edinger Avenue around 4:30 p.m.

A detailed description of the getaway car allowed police to make a traffic stop and make arrests.

The stolen merchandise was found inside the car and all the suspects – the alleged getaway driver, lookout and the one who entered the store provided false names, say police, but were discovered to have outstanding warrants.
