This past Saturday, February 3, two men were arrested near Six Flags Discovery Kingdom after stealing well over a dozen purses from a Kate Spade in the Napa Factory Outlets. Napa Valley Police were alerted when an employee called them, claiming the men stole an “entire wall” of purses. Given the average price of the bags, the men likely took thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.

According to police, the suspects, later identified as 30-year-old Raymond Albert Rodriguez and 23-year-old Jaden James Smith, fled down the highway in a white BMW with temporary license plates. The vehicle was located by an American Canyon Police Department sergeant as they sped down Highway 29.

Both suspects face charges related to the theft and pursuit. They were arrested and booked at the Napa County Detention Center.
