At approximately 2:19 p.m. workers at the Kate Spade store at the Napa Premium Outlets on Freeway Drive reported the theft of more than $1,000 worth of merchandise, according to Napa Police Department Sgt. Brett Muratori. Witnesses saw the suspects exit the outlet mall in a white vehicle, and American Canyon police officers began the pursuit after seeing a vehicle matching the description, Muratori said in an email.
The pursuit ended near Highway 37 in Vallejo, where American Canyon Police arrested the driver and two passengers around 2:41 p.m., according to Muratori.
Police identified the driver as 19-year-old Donald Thomas of San Ramon and the passengers as 22-year-old Paul Ellis McGee of Antioch and 21-year-old Trejor A. Barber of Bay Point. The items reported stolen from the outlet store were found in her vehicle, Muratori said.

Despite increasing crime, theft has become much rarer in recent years than it used to be. That said, there are still hotspots where burglaries and burglaries are far more common than in the typical American neighborhood.
