Overview

• The theft occurred Sept. 5 during a San Fernando Valley class after a woman entered claiming she was late and asked to use the restroom.
• Studio cameras captured the suspect removing items from O’Connell’s sneakers, and LAPD says she appeared on video on two different days last week.
• Investigators believe the same person has targeted other Los Angeles-area studios, but no one has been taken into custody.
• O’Connell canceled his cards after unauthorized purchases, and his issuer reversed the charges, though personal mementos in the wallet were lost.
• The actor filed a report, publicly recounted the incident, and returned to class as the investigation remains active.
