California police are still looking for a woman who ran out of a mall topless after she allegedly stole merchandise from a Macy's last month, CBS Los Angeles reported.
The woman, said to be Asian and in her 40s, was at the Macy's at Westfield Santa Anita mall on June 29 when she was stopped on suspicion of putting items inside her purse.
A Macy's officer attempted to detain the suspect, but she resisted and ended up hitting the officer several times, according to the station. At one point the woman's clothing came off.
"During the altercation, the suspect's shirt and bra came off," police told CBS Los Angeles.
Before she could be stopped the woman "ran to her car topless and left behind her purse containing her driver's license," police said. She then fled the San Gabriel Valley mall in a white Mercedes. A witness was able to write down the license plate number.
Police have not released the woman's name and the incident is still under investigation.
Speaking of suspects fleeing the scene naked, a 26-year-old Pennsylvania woman ran out of a supermarket topless after surveillance cameras caught her stealing diapers in 2012.
Guards at Pathmark detained Aishana Clayton and led her to a security office when she tried to escape and assaulted a female guard, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Clayton slipped out of her shirt when the guard tried to stop her and fled the supermarket half-naked.
"Her breasts were swinging as she ran to her car," Upper Darby police told the newspaper.
In 2008, a woman fell into a manure tank and fled a German farm naked to avoid arrest for making "manure bombs," police told Reuters.
