A 35-year-old woman was detained by California police after she allegedly stole $10 to $15 worth of goods from a convenience shop using a homemade flamethrower.
In a press statement, the Manhattan Beach Police Department stated that its officers were called to a 7-Eleven location at 1221 Artesia Road at approximately 3:20 a.m. on November 12 in connection with a robbery. Officers discovered that a woman approached the cashier with a lighter and an aerosol can so she could use the spray to start a fire. According to police, the guy repeatedly spit fire in the clerk’s direction. According to the authorities, she then fled after stealing the unidentified things. She wasn’t detained right away when she was last spotted heading south. After the woman left the store, the clerk, who was unharmed, phoned the police.

Police sent local law enforcement agencies an image of the suspect taken by security cameras. The suspect, named as Kimberly Nation, was taken into custody by a Manhattan Beach police detective and a member of the Homeless Liaison/Mental Health Evaluation Team at approximately 8 a.m. on November 12 with assistance from another department.
She is being charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. After reviewing the case, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office brought the charges.
On a $75,000 bond, Nation is being held at the Los Angeles County Jail. It appears that police were able to identify Nation using the security photos because she is not a stranger at the institution.
According to records, she has spent at least 12 of the previous two years as an inmate at the facility. According to jail records, she was arrested by police on February 15, April 24, May 20, June 3, and October 9 of this year alone. Those charges’ specifics were not immediately accessible.
