A captivating tale unfolds as a man’s attempt to rob a Kohl’s store leads to his arrest, revealing his involvement in a high-value jewelry theft. Brandon Libardo Bustos-Bermudez, aged 30 and hailing from Riverside, found himself behind bars after being apprehended at another Kohl’s location in Chino. Seal Beach police swiftly reacted to the situation at the Chino Kohl’s store, aided by a vigilant loss-prevention officer who recognized Bustos-Bermudez from the surveillance footage captured at the scene of the theft in Seal Beach. Initially detained by Chino police, Bustos-Bermudez ultimately experienced the consequences of his criminal activities.
Working as part of a trio, Bustos-Bermudez and his accomplices masterminded the theft of approximately $74,000 worth of gold jewelry from the Kohl’s store located at 12345 Seal Beach Blvd. The audacious burglary was caught on surveillance cameras, clearly capturing the suspects’ hasty escape in a gray BMW sedan.
Concerned for the safety of their other department stores, Kohl’s staff circulated an internal memo throughout the region, urging all personnel to remain vigilant in their efforts to identify and apprehend the culprits. This internal communication played a pivotal role in the eventual recognition and detention of Bustos-Bermudez and his fellow criminals as they attempted to repeat their illicit actions at the Chino store on Friday. The responsive Chino Police Department swiftly arrived at the scene around 4:30 p.m.
Following his arrest, Bustos-Bermudez was transported to the Seal Beach Police Department. During an interview, he confessed his involvement in the Seal Beach burglary. As a result, he now faces charges of burglary, grand theft, and conspiracy to commit a crime.
Seal Beach Police Chief Michael Henderson emphasized the far-reaching consequences of retail theft, stressing the impact it has on both businesses and the prices consumers pay. Holding firmly to the commitment to uphold the law, Henderson assured that perpetrators of retail theft will face the full force of legal prosecution. Henderson gave credit to the astute and efficient Kohl’s loss prevention officers for their role in identifying and apprehending Bustos-Bermudez.
