These five suspects are part of a baby formula theft ring that hit multiple locations in southern California, authorities said. Tiffanie Seniguar was captured in Palmdale Thursday, but the others remain at large.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

PALMDALE \u2013 A 25-year-old Palmdale woman was arrested Thursday for stealing baby formula from a Target Store in Palmdale.<\/p>\n

Tiffanie Seniguar <\/strong>is believed to be part of a baby formula theft ring that has been stealing “Enfamil” from stores throughout southern California, authorities said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s looks like there are five players,\u201d said Palmdale Station Lt. Cory Kennedy. \u201cBecause she [Seniguar] had the car, she was the main player that was driving around and going to all these different locations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kennedy said the baby formula theft ring hit retail stores in Lancaster, Palmdale, Santa Clarita Valley, Glendale, Burbank, and multiple locations in the Los Angeles Police Department jurisdiction. (View a list of some of the locations hit by the baby formula theft ring here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat they do is they go into the store carrying a large empty purse, and because formula is not one of those items that they lock down, they just basically stack it up and they walk out with the big purse full of formula,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The getaway vehicle was captured on video surveillance after a crime at a Santa Clarita store, authorities said.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

About three weeks ago, detectives in Santa Clarita were able to get the license plate of the getaway vehicle, which was traced back to a Palmdale address, Kennedy said. But the real break in the case for Palmdale detectives came on August 4, when Seniguar was caught stealing Enfamil from a Lancaster Walmart, Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically, [she] told security \u2018you can\u2019t stop me\u2019 and drove off and went back to Palmdale,\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cAnd that young deputy in Lancaster drove all the way to that house and he arrested her, and that gave us the break that we needed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seniguar was convicted in the Lancaster incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe got convicted, but walked out at the same take, which wasn\u2019t what I wanted to happen because I knew about all the other cases that were going on,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, Seniguar was identified as being on video in multiple stores throughout southern California committing similar crimes \u2013 including a June 25 theft at Target in Palmdale.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Seniguar (right) was one of two women who stole baby formula from a Palmdale Target on June 25, authorities said. Detectives are still searching for the other suspect.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cOur suspects in my case were two females,\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cThe other suspects in the other different venues were males and females.\u201d<\/p>\n

Armed with an arrest warrant, detectives went to Seniguar\u2019s residence in Palmdale and arrested her at 1:15 p.m., Thursday for the Palmdale incident, Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

During her interrogation, Seniguar admitted to being involved in multiple incidents, Kennedy added. Palmdale detectives are working closely with the other affected law enforcement agencies to coordinate the arrests of the other involved suspects. \u00a0They\u2019re also investigating what the ring was doing with the large quantities of stolen baby formula.<\/p>\n

There was a similar case in Palmdale a couple of years ago, and the thieves were sending the formula to Mexico, Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose cans of formula can go anywhere from 18 to 20 bucks a can,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re turning around and selling them to whoever they\u2019re selling them to for six to seven bucks, and then they\u2019re shipped off. The problem with that is the stuff has an expiration date too, and there\u2019s no control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seniguar remains jailed on $30,000 bail and is expected to be charged with commercial burglary on Monday, Kennedy said. Detectives are still searching for the other female involved in the Palmdale case.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will get her today,\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cWe would have got her last night, but her address was no good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Lt. Kennedy at 661-272-2506.<\/p>\n
