Hermosa Beach cops catch suspected robber
A robbery suspect who stole cosmetics from a drug store in Hermosa Beach was captured later in Long Beach, police said Friday.
Ceasar Alfred Corona, 32, was arrested Thursday afternoon in connection with the theft at the CVS store at 711 Pier Ave., Hermosa Beach police Detective Mick Gaglia said.
Corona allegedly filled a bag with cosmetics and left without paying. He backed his car into an employee who ran after him.
The employee, however, wrote down his license plate number. Police went to his home.
As detectives searched his car, Corona said, "The items you're looking for are in the black bag," Gaglia said.
Police also found a specific list of cosmetics that matched the items reported stolen from CVS and ultimately recovered from car.
