Manhattan Beach police Thursday circulated the name and photo of a woman wanted for allegedly trying to burglarize a home under construction.
Alisha Tapia, 29, is being sought as a suspect in the crime, which occurred about 2 p.m. Sunday in the 100 block of 32nd Place, said Manhattan Beach police Sgt. Tim Zins.
"The reporting party stated a female suspect attempted to burglarize a home under construction," Zins said. "The female was described as wearing a white painter's suit and ventilator mask to disguise her identity."
