LAKE ELSINORE, CA — A 34-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly stealing baby formula from a retail store in Lake Elsinore, authorities said.
The alleged theft was reported Feb. 13 at a store in the 18200 block of Collier Avenue. An employee told the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department via an online report that a female suspect was inside the store selecting various cans of baby formula and concealing them inside a tote bag.
“As the female exited the store, she assaulted the employee by pushing him aside and exited the store without paying for the items,” the sheriff’s department said.
Deputies identified the suspect as Zurikka Herron of Lake Elsinore. They detained Herron after conducting a traffic stop Tuesday, and she was later booked into the Cois Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of robbery.
Herron was released Wednesday on $30,000 bail.
Anyone with information regarding the alleged theft was asked to contact Deputy Noel at the sheriff’s Lake Elsinore station at 951-245-3300.
