Authorities are investigating after a woman had her tire punctured during a robbery in Norwalk after she was followed to the grocery store, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Officials said during the June 16 incident, one man allegedly watched the victim withdraw cash from a bank in Norwalk. All three suspects then followed the victim into the store before going outside and puncturing hole in her car's right rear tire. 

When the victim got back to her car, one of the suspects pretended to be a Good Samaritan and offered to fix her tire, officials said.
