Authorities reached out to the public Wednesday for help in identifying a pair of thieves who stole more than $21,000 worth of private possessions and store merchandise in northern San Diego County in recent weeks through a residential burglary and fraudulent supermarket purchases.
The man and woman broke into a home in the 1200 block of South Hampton Road in San Marcos on the morning of June 30, ransacked it and made off with roughly $20,000 worth of jewelry, purses and other items, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
Investigators believe the pair may have fled the scene of the burglary in a white late-model SUV, possibly a 2020 Chevrolet Suburban.
