Peninsula Center Shopper Has Sticky Fingers for the Vodka

A store is hit several times by the same suspect, deputies believe.

Two shoplifting incidents were reported at the Peninsula Center in Rolling Hills Estates on two different days, but the suspects – or was it a single suspect with a hankering fora lot of vodka? – stole the exact same thing.

At 8:42 a.m. Feb. 11 (kind of early for vodka, we’ll point out), someone lifted 10 bottles of Cîroc vodka. Then at 4:02 p.m. Feb. 14, another three bottles of Cîroc vodka were stolen from the same location, according to a Los Angeles County Sheriff's report from the Lomita Station. 

Deputies say the two cases are related and may also be related to report of four stolen Cognac botlles.
