Warning for shoppers: Woman believes she was targeted by thieves after shopping at Houston Galleria
—
A woman is on edge tonight after a recent shopping trip at the Galleria turned into a nightmare.
Sylvia Escobedo told KPRC 2 she believes she was targeted by thieves who followed her from the mall to a nearby restaurant and shopping strip, where her car was broken into, and thousands of dollars’ worth of items and family heirlooms were stolen.
Escobedo, said her BMW SUV’s back window was shattered in the Uptown Park parking lot where she had been dining with her family after shopping, and purchasing brand new handbags at the Galleria.
Her BMW captured images of the thief in action.
“The alarm went off at 7:13 p.m., which is the time I arrived at the table with my family,” Escobedo said. She suspects someone was watching her at the mall, as her two large, brand-new shopping bags were hidden in the trunk.
