Grand theft: A Morgan Hill resident reported she was approached while in the Target in Cochrane Plaza shopping center by two suspects who told her they had an accident on the highway and needed money. The suspects then told her, she said, that they had rubies and diamonds which they would give her if she gave them $20,000. She told the suspects she did not have that much money, and took one of the suspects to her home, where she gave them pots and pans, her computer and household appliances instead.
