Officers responded to the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church around 3:30 p.m. Sunday, June 14 after a Phelan man stole the purse of one of the parishioners. The 63-year-old victim witnessed Bradley Gray take her handbag and flee the location. Police questioned three people that had accompanied the 32-year-old thief to the church. Although it was determined they had no involvement with the theft, further investigation revealed each had outstanding arrest warrants and were taken into custody. Mr. Gray was later located by police and found to be in possession of the stolen property. He was arrested and remains in custody in downtown Los Angeles.
