Two Stockton women have been arrested in connection with the theft of a wallet from an elderly woman earlier this month in Walnut Creek, according to the Walnut Creek Police Department.
Last week, we posted a video of a suspect stealing a wallet out of an elderly woman’s purse while another stood close-by at the Safeway in the Rossmoor community of Walnut Creek.
After the theft, fraudulent credit card charges were attempted at a nearby store, police said.
As a result of the investigation, both suspects were identified.
On September 20, Walnut Creek Police with the assistance from the Stockton Police Department and the San Joaquin County Probation Department located and arrested 22-year-old Markkisha Anthnisha Mangum 22-year-old and Martavia Latrice Blount in Stockton.
Mangum was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail for the charges of felony Identity theft with prior conviction, Financial Elder Abuse, Credit Card Fraud, Possession of Stolen Property and Conspiracy. Mangum’s bail was set at $82,500. Mangum posted bail and was released on Sept.21.
Blount was booked the San Joaquin County Jail for the charges of Identity theft, Financial Elder Abuse, Credit Card Fraud, Possession of Stolen Property and Conspiracy. Blount’s bail was set at $22,500.
Blount was also booked on an outstanding warrant for Robbery with a bail of $25,000, according to Walnut Creek Police.

Freaks.
Good. Now that they have bonded out hopefully they won’t vanish. I was sure one of the girls was a guy. Whadda know.

Maybe the initial photo looked like a guy to some people…… Security footage is not always that clear. I don’t think his comment was supposed to be any more than that….
Could be either….I can’t tell the difference nowadays.
Just to be safe, I will call refer to the picture as “it”.
Stockton trash
their mugshots rell u they don’t give a $hit
Those aren’t mugshots. They’re DMV photos. Obviously taken on a better day!
ah…
OMG, more criminal names. Please STOP trying to give your children a fancy name.
Ah, another person who deems non-white names as “fancy”.
What’s a non-white name? That’s an awfully racist thing for you to say.
thank goodness…this story just made me sick to my stomach. Our elders deserve our utmost respect and shouldn’t be treated like this.
I bet their momma is real proud!🙄 POS
Mama’s probably no better. Apple typically doesn’t fall far from the tree!
How do you think they learned their trade?
Excellent! They came all the way from Stockton to do this?
Stockton gives 100 of its residents a stipend, called a universal basic income UNI, of $500 per month. This as an social experiment to provide the poor a cushion, and guarantee that their income does not fall below an “income floor.” Either these two didn’t qualify for the $500, or it wasn’t enough to suit their fancy.

This is good news. Throw the book at these two. POS is an understatement. They look a lot older than 22. I’m not surprised they have prior convictions and outstanding warrants for robbery. She probably bailed out on stolen money.
“Throw the book”….hahaha, that’s hilarious, you do know this IS the Bay Area, in California, one of the most woke places on earth, I mean you are aware of these facts, yes? Actual time served behind bars will be at most about 6 months in county, and depending on their records they may only get probation, and that’s IF leftist DA Becton’s (endorsed by Talcum X himself, Shaun King) office even chooses to prosecute.
Kentucky Derby – I second your statement about likely bailed out on stolen money. I bet she’s out stealing again, too.
Stockton!!! Ooh and so many readers got so butt hurt when people commented about ‘them being from out of the area’ like it was totally possible these slobs were from Walnut Creek. 😂
There are plenty of POS living in Walnut Creek Concord Mom.
😂 Oh yeah, so they TOTALLY look like Rosmore residents to you?
Never said Rosmore, I said WALNUT CREEK!
Both these clowns are smiling in their mugshots. I think that says it all. So many comments I would like to make but I will refrain from doing so. I’ll let you guess what I’m thinking
You could be right, but these look like driver’s license photos.
Markkisha’s jail nickname can be Mangum P.I. (prison inmate)
Lol!
YEA!! I have been waiting for this story, so glad those horrible women were caught.
Some can’t be reformed! One of these peeps has a prior conviction of identity theft. Bail is Very Low for financial elder abuse. I sure hope there is actual prosecution and prison time. They appear quite experienced.
@Nokeem – Re: bail, I am very disappointed at the low amount of bail for these 2 perps. Priors, an outstanding warrant for robbery, and the new charges including Elder Financial Abuse. In my opinion, the EFA charge alone should warrant a much higher bail then was set.
These gals will probably be right loose with no jail time. Our Contra Costs district attorney is part of the supposed ‘social justice’ movement, which means if your of color you’re let loose right away and not punished. This is in an effort to try to make up a perceived wrongdoing in the past.
Loose women?
One is smirking and the other is sneering. I’m glad they were caught. With priors, I hope they get real prison time. I’ll be they’ve done this many times and gotten away with, given how they seemed to know what they were doing in stealing the lady’s wallet.
You know these are Driver’s Licence photos, right? Half of the people I know (including a small business owner and and elderly teacher) have photos where they look like they just murdered someone. Stop projecting.
Joe Biden recently said that we shouldn’t send non-violent offenders to prison, and that he’d let a whole lot of them out. These women were non-violent. So was Bernie Madoff. Imagine what a hell hole of rampant theft this place would become if we never sent non-violent offenders to prison!
Well said, Rico! Very true!
Maybe hate crime should be added—targeting an elderly white woman?
Bless your heart and you’re not wrong, but we all know that door only swings one way.
Hate Crimes involve an obvious racial motivation. The motivation here was an easy target in an affluent area, which is the typical mark in all cases of theft. Try again with your reverse racism whining.
Glad they caught them. What they did was wrong on so many levels.
Any abuse, financial or otherwise, on the elderly deserves no bail. Glad they caught these loving and caring young women.
Throw the book at these fine upstanding ladies. This is great that they are caught hope they spend some time in jail.
Could have just been curious about what elderly people keep in wallets and purses, so please stop judging these nice ladies….
Why are they smiling? Because they know nothing will happen to them here in California.
WELL, isn’t this SPECIAL !
Commuting in ’cause pickings are slim out there in stockton and what a surprise, there’s that magical phrase . . . . PRO-bation.
But hey, this is California where criminals almost seem to a protected class.
I think EVERY detail of this story speaks for itself, no further commentary even necessary.
A couple of sh*tbags.
So glad these two were caught and I hope they learn a lesson never to do that, again.
Learn a lesson…these two….as in some kind of capacity for moral clarity and to feel remorse…you serious? The only “lesson” they’ll learn is that next time they need to obscure their faces from the camera.
No Bail!!!!! especially since they have no conscience and this woman’s address.ROSSMOOR SECURITY SHOULD BE ON HIGH ALERT.
Yep. I’m sure they passed the info around. Identity theft is a world of hurt for someone older like their victim. I hope her husband is still living and not impaired so they can work on recovering from this event together. And, yep, one of them looks like a man. Great job WCPD and SPD.
Terrific! Great job law enforcement, and media for blasting the photos and video. Even though their consequences will be minimal, it’s hopefully liberating for their victim.
Smile all they want; this is as good as their lives will ever be. People of this ilk have zero empathic abilities, and therefore can’t be rehabilitated. They really should do everyone who has ever known them a favor and do the honorable thing……..
I was just at the zoo and I’m a bit offended that two elephants got out and nobody reported it
@Schmee – Don’t insult the elephants. They have long memories.
Really ???
No scruples.
When does the P.O.S. john burris make his entrance to sue the cities and police departments?
Ooh, how positively cynical….I like the cut of your jib. And yes Burris is a vile POS.
Cynical, yes……..Truthful….Right on the money!!
These young ladies were clearly not taught to R-E-S-P-E-C-T their elders, or anyone for that matter. They disgust me!
Priors? Outstanding warrants? This trash are habitual criminals…there should have been no bail…and when convicted (again) 5 years minimum + hard labor
Yessss! Please bring back labor camps and chain gangs! These two should be picking up trash on the highways or cleaning up manure from stables.
Someone needs to slap the smile off their faces.
Given the political climate and decriminalization in California (thanks to the idiot democrat politicians), they were given low bail amounts and will be back out on the street in no time.
Hey liberals – got a proposal for you…. Since you’re so into rehabilitation, why don’t you take these losers into your home?
No? Then you’re nothing but a NIMBY hypocrite.
Glad these POS’s got caught. Now’s it’s time to Boil Them.
LET THE BEATING COMMENCE! SHAME, SHAME ON YOU….GET A JOB..I HOPE THIS HAPPENS TO YOU IF YOU EVER GET A JOB-LOSERS!
Good work by WCPD. They will be out soon, but 108RS is also 10-8.
Rossmoor is my home and these two women planned this scheme obviously.
They came over here to prey on an elderly woman. Shame on them. The best thing is that they have been exposed widely by the media and it is not fake news. They are publicly humiliated for all to see.
Hmm, are these two end products of lyndon johnson’s Great Society and CA’s under $950 means it’s free ? ? ?
This made my day. It made me feel like I need to be looking over my shoulder while selecting my pork chops!
Criminals usually start with Petty Crimes…So let’s punish these 2 by taking them on a Cruise…S. F. Bay & Drop them in the water..let them try to swim to shore….a small punishment really…maybe they’ll make better choices…..or Drown 😎
people please you voted for this
what some politicians goaded you into believing if you let them steal they will leave you alone ….and your parents and children lol
this is on YOU the voters ….making fun and jokes aside
this is just the beginning
as the other story stated on claycord about the theft rings that are in full swing and getting better by the day ….working hard(<<<lol wow so criminals can work huh but choose not too apparently) to steal over and over avoiding prosecution because of your vote and your neighbors obvious pandering to democrat politicians …..you probably approved the gas tax how is that working for you ?
stop poking fun at your own created problem
yes they should be held accountable for their actions but you have thwarted that …now they are pawns of chaos by a democrat regime bent on ruling through any means ….even if it involves you helping them by voting nonsensically for ????
I can not even come to one conclusion as to why you would vote to make theft legal …not one
please anyone who voted to allow criminals to prey and thieve as they will
please help us all understand …even if it is ludicrous or juvenile …just tell us why maybe we can capitulate.
show us the democrat way is good …..please show us the way so we can join in on the reaping of citizens and society …..
inform us why we should allow crime ….show us the way to utopia
Several times I have seen seniors shopping at our local Safeway and notice them with their backs turned away from their purses or them being a few feet away from their cart. I always warn them to be careful because people will steal their purse when they aren’t looking. Most don’t even know it happens and appreciate the warning. I usually show them how to lock the baby seat belt around the handles of their purse. We should all help our seniors by watching out for them.
Anon – That’s because old habits die hard. We seniors have lived much of our lives not having to worry about little things like locking our houses and cars. Parents taught their kids the difference between right and wrong (if it doesn’t belong to you, don’t touch it).
Hope they throw the book at them. Disgusting behavior preying on the elderly.
Salty OUT!
Hey, these two look familiar…one of them looks like the thief who was caught on tape trying to steal a purse at the local WC restaurant a few years back. Or maybe they are related.
In any case, these two wont get more than 90 days of jail time and community service work. Which means they will be back on the streets looking for loot in your Concord/WC/Tracy/Livermore/Pleasanton/San Ramon areas.
How is Tracy part of these cities you list?People go to Tracy to steal?
I think it’s the other way around.
Thieves lookin all pinky and the brain like!
These people never prey on people their own age or size. It is disgusting and they should be stoned and forced to work hard labor.
