Police and emergency medical personnel are seen Tuesday at Fashion Island after a woman was killed in a failed robbery, police said. A 69-year-old woman was killed in an apparently failed robbery attempt at the upscale Fashion Island mall in Newport Beach on Tuesday, and three suspects were ultimately taken into custody, authorities said.According to Newport Beach Police Sgt. Steve Oberon, a husband and wife were walking outside the mall near the Barnes & Noble store around 3:30 p.m.
Those two suspects led authorities on a chase that led to South Gate in Los Angeles County. The driver eventually pulled into a neighborhood and both suspects tried to flee on foot, but both were taken into custody, Oberon said.The suspects’ identities were not immediately made public. “Newport Beach is a safe community and we’re mourning the loss of someone,” he said. “Frankly, to hell with these guys. … These are thugs. Every community is now dealing with this. We have to do better as a society. We cannot tolerate this.”
