On Saturday, November 23, at about 3:30 p.m., a seven-year-old child was walking along the 200 block of E. Magnolia Blvd. near the Burbank Town Center with his father. As the child played with his father’s Samsung cell phone, the pair walked up the steps to the mall. A young male Hispanic, approximately 17-20 years old, approached the child from behind, reached over with both hands and took the cell phone from the child.
The suspect, wearing a black sweatshirt with a hood, gray shorts and white tennis shoes, ran westbound towards First St. and out of sight. The suspect is described as being about 5’7″ to 5’10” tall and weighing 130-160 pounds. The child was not injured. Burbank Police urge anyone with information to call the BPD tip line at 818-238-3000.
