 SFPD bust grocery store shoplifting ring hitting CVS,
Target, Safeway, Walgreens
San Francisco police busted a big shoplifting
ring this week, but not one that deals in electronics or
clothes. This network steals and resells shampoo,
conditioner, razor blades, batteries and the like. Police
confiscated $100,000 worth of disposable razors and $40,000
worth of batteries. These thieves were after everyday items
they could sell for a quick profit. Police say the
ringleader would put out a daily shopping list to a network
of thieves from San Francisco to Walnut Creek and Alamo.
They'd shoplift the goods item by item. The goods were
stolen from CVS, Target, Safeway and Walgreens stores.
Police say Thai would pay cash, then re-sell them to a
Mission District flea market and stores. Police called in
executives for the victimized stores. They scanned the goods
and figured out the whole cache is worth $300,000 - $400,000
retail. (Source

 Theft
ring hitting Hastings Entertainment with check fraud in
Wichita Falls A woman arrested recently, Juanita
Marie Springmeyer, 28, also known as Juanita Hardy, was
charged with forgery after allegedly passing a check written
for more than $1,200 to Hastings Entertainment Store on May
6. Springmeyer is believed to be operating with a group of
people who are watching people get out of their cars at
gyms, then going inside the gym and stealing items from
their locker and car, according to Spragins. She also was
arrested in January with nine others in what the Wichita
County Sheriff’s Office and WFPD believed to be a burglary
and drug ring. Spragins said he believes the thefts started
at the end of April and the criminals are taking anything of
value, specifically checkbooks, identification cards and
credit and debit cards. They are maxing them out as fast as
they can, Spragins said. Anyone who thinks they may have
been a victim of this theft ring is urged to contact the
Wichita Falls Police Department and make a report as soon as
possible at 940-761-7792. (Source
