An impromptu memorial has popped up at the Thousand Oaks intersection where a pro-Israeli demonstrator was fatally injured Sunday.

Ring grabs purses and other items from a Gucci store.

A Ventura County store is the latest target of an organized theft ring, with a half dozen people stealing purses, and other high end items.

Ventura County Sheriff's deputies say it happened Friday night, at the Camarillo Premium Factory Outlets.

Detectives say five men, and a woman went into the Gucci Factory Outlet Store just before 8 p.m., grabbed purses and other expensive items, and fled before they could be caught.

No one was hurt.
