A portfolio and a phone belonging to television and film actor Jerry O’Connell were stolen when the star of “Stand by Me” and “Scream 2” took a course during the weekend in a Yoga studio in the San Fernando Valley, said the LAPD at NBC4 Investigates.
The flight occurred on Saturday morning after a woman entered the studio and said she was there for a course that had already started, police said. The woman waited at the studio and asked to use the toilet before taking off with the business of O’Connell, 51.
O’Connell discovered the items, including the wallet with a few hundred dollars in cash, missing after the end of the course.
The LAPD has taken a flight report and said the crime was taken on the studio’s security cameras. It was not clear if the thief was at the studio for the class or if the flight was an opportunity crime, the police said.
A detailed description of the woman sought in the flight was not immediately available.
The kind actor, who has two children with his wife Rebecca Romijn, also played cinema posts in “Jerry Maguire” from 1996, “Calendar Girl” from 1993 and “Mission to Mars” by Brian de Palma (2000). He played in the television series “Sliders” and other shows and hosted a version of “Pictionary”.
