On Sunday September 24th at 3:15 pm, three suspects (two males and one female) entered the Petco, located at 13420 Whittier Blvd. One of the males was also accompanied by a pit bull as he perused the store. While being monitored by store management it became apparent the trio was about to shoplift. While in commission of this crime, the suspect with the pit bull was confronted by the manager. The suspect then threw a doggie ball at the manager and threatened him with bodily harm. Fearing for his safety, the manager backed away as the trio made off with various merchandise. Due to the cunning of the manager however, a license plate was obtained and a Whittier Police Sergeant tracked down the suspects and arrested two of the three. The arrestees were identified as one male juvenile and Michelle Lynn Kuegler (11/03/68 & Whittier resident) and booked for robbery. The pit bull was cooperative.
