Four suspects were arrested after allegedly stealing over $3,000 worth of sneakers from a Corona shoe store.

The male suspects were identified as James Sanders, 42, Miracle Partee, 22, and two juveniles — a 16-year-old and a 14-year-old, according to the Corona Police Department.

On Dec. 2,  the group of thieves entered a WSS Shoe Store on the 1100 block of West Sixth Street at around 12:55 p.m.

The suspects entered the shop and began grabbing pricey sneakers and valuable shoes, police said.

The group left the store with around $3,000 worth of merchandise and fled the scene in a getaway car.

Officers eventually spotted the suspects’ vehicle on the westbound lanes of the 91 Freeway near Valley View Drive in La Mirada.
