After learning identity of thief, victim declines to prosecute

According to the Commerce Police Department incident report, the 66-year-old white female reported that a nailer and compressor kit and a second nailer were taken. She later came to the police department and said she had matched the serial number of one of the pieces of equipment to one at a local pawn shop.

According to the report, the owner of the pawn shop said two young males had pawned the nailer and compressor one day, and another nailer earlier.

“After learning who had pawned her nailers and compressor (the victim) advised she did not want to press charges,” the officer wrote.
