Police are seeking an Oakland mother after they allege that she used her child to help her shoplift from a Daly City Target, then left the child behind when she was caught.

Daly City police say that 34-year-old Oakland resident Rosalina Medina and her 11-year-old daughter were shopping at the Target store at the Serramonte Shopping Center (which is far superior to the one across the freeway in Colma, IMO) at around 10 a.m. on November 24. That's when, according to Target's security guards, they spotted the mother and child "concealing items in a shopping bag."

When store security collared Medina outside the store, she "told the officers they couldn’t arrest her daughter because she was only 11 years old," KRON4 reports, and told her daughter to "fight the officers and run."

Bay City News reports that "The girl bit one of the guards on the shoulder, and Medina left the store with her infant daughter and left the 11-year-old behind."

Since then, the 11-year-old had been in the custody of Daly City Child Protective services, as Medina remains at large as of Friday morning.

According to the Chron, not only will Medina face shoplifting accusations when she is found, she'll also be hit with charges for endangering the welfare of a minor.

If you have any information on the case, Daly City police ask that you contact them at (650) 991-8119 or the department’s anonymous tip line at (650) 873-AIMS, and refer to case Number 15010175.
