Three Antioch teenagers were arrested Friday on suspicion of stealing another teen’s purse without even stopping their car during the previous weekend at the Hacienda Crossings Shopping Center, according to a Dublin police spokesman.
The drive-by purse-snatching occurred around 4:15 p.m. on Jan. 14, with police receiving a report of a 13-year-old girl whose purse was ripped off her arm by someone inside a car that just suddenly pulled up next to her while she stood in the parking lot, according to Dublin Police Services Capt. Nate Schmidt.
The culprit reached through the window and stole the purse while the car was still moving, Schmidt said. The car then sped from the shopping center at Dublin Boulevard and Hacienda Drive, but witnesses provided a vehicle description to police, saying it was a four-door sedan with tinted windows.
Dublin detectives investigated the case and later identified two 17-year-old boys and one 16-year-old boy — all from Antioch — as the thieves, Schmidt said. The three teens were found and arrested on Friday. Their names were not released.

Editor, CAn you let us know the legal outcome?
I get that they are minors, but it’d still be good to know.
More out-of-towners coming here to crime. If our police keep up the fine job they are doing in apprehending these deadbeats, word will spread.
We all need to be vigilant, and help the police.
