In the video, the 84-year-old woman can be seen sitting in her driveway with another woman as an SUV drives up and down the street. Fox News reported that as the SUV stopped outside of the 84-year-old's home, a middle-aged female suspect got out, hugged the older woman and allegedly spoke to her under the pretense of selling her a necklace. Subsequently, other suspects left the car, appearing to be members of the family. As the middle-aged female suspect tried to sell the necklace, she took a necklace belonging to the old woman. The other suspects, which included a young boy, then attempted unsuccessfully to take the older woman's rings. The case is currently under investigation by Glendale Police. The suspects have not yet been identified.

He told the outlet: "The moment they realize there is a good catch here, they put the other necklace around my mom's neck, left the one that is fake and took the real one." He added: "The lady was trying to take my mom's finger rings out, but since it was so tight, she wasn't able to take it out."

He said: "Somehow this family is creating future criminals. They must be stopped." He also explained that such crimes are common all over Southern California, and perhaps even beyond. He said that such criminals are difficult to apprehend as they typically remain mobile, drifting from one town to the other searching for targets. He said: "They will be in Southern California today, Northern California next week. They'll be in Las Vegas the week after that, Phoenix the week after that. So, even if we have a leader, where's our suspects? We don't know where they are at."Glendale PD@GlendalePDWalk in groups, don’t wear jewelry on walks/keep it hidden under your clothing, &pay attention to your surroundings; look for vehicles and people who may be following you or seem out of place.
