The other three people dumped the products in various aisles before leaving in a blue sedan, officers said.Two store employees chased after Nash, who dropped the bag full of merchandise, deputies said. The employees stopped following Nash when he ran across Highway 49.People in the area pointed deputies to the rented blue sedan that was parked behind a building on Kemper Road, which is directly across the highway from the store.According to deputies, 18-year-old Charday Mariah Monique Brown, of Hayward, 20-year-old Torryiel Gayla Griggs, of Oakland, and a third person ran from the vehicle as officers approached it.Brown and Griggs were taken into custody, but the fourth suspect managed to get away from officers, investigators said.Two hours later, Nash was found walking on Highway 49 near Live Oak Lane and was arrested.About 160 stolen items were found in the suspects' vehicle -- most of which were large containers of baby formula, but also included medications.The items were stolen from several grocery stores between the Bay Area and Reno, according to authorities.Deputies also said stolen baby formula is often used to dilute drugs or sold illegally online.\u201COther states are actually passing legislation to enhance the sentencing for people that are caught in these rings.
