Police arrested a 79-year-old Daly City man following a shoplifting spree in downtown Menlo Park on Nov. 17.
James Anderson of Daly City was arrested on charges of second-degree burglary, receiving stolen property and petty theft, said Officer Paul Phu. Another suspect, described as a white man in his 20s, is still at large, said Officer Phu.
Jewelry, a stuffed animal and other items were taken from four stores in the 600 block of Santa Cruz Avenue -- Walgreens, Cheeky Monkey toy store, Dolma, and Look clothing boutique, according to Menlo Park police Sgt. Sharon Kaufman.
The store manager of Look noticed two men acting suspiciously and reported them to the police. They were caught with jewelry from her store, as well as other things, she told The Almanac.
"It was clear that there were other stores that were being hit," she said.
In all, about $350 in items from the four stores was recovered, police said.

It's probably the only thing he's had to eat while looking for a bench to sleep on.
