 Greenfield,
Wis., police closing in on ORC gang of women hitting
Wal-Mart stores in five states Authorities
collected a virtual photo album of the ringleader, operating
across the Midwest, who targets high-end electronics like
iPads, iPhones and GPS systems. "She’s spotted over and
over, going to at least 44 different places,” said Sgt. Ray
Radakovich of the Greenfield police. Radakovich said the
woman works with accomplices. In each robbery, the
perpetrators bring an overflowing cart to checkout. As the
clerk fills bags, the ringleader loads them into her cart
when the clerk isn’t looking. The ringleader slips the bag
with electronics to her accomplice, who waits until no one
is looking. Radakovich said the thieves have stolen more
than $50,000 in merchandise from Walmart.

$100,000 in merchandise from local malls
PEABODY — A 28-year-old
Lawrence woman was arrested yesterday in
connection with the theft of thousands of
dollars worth of bras, underwear, cosmetics
and other items from the Northshore Mall and
other area shopping centers.
Jennifer Santos, of 57 Cedar St., Lawrence,
will be arraigned Monday in Peabody District
Court on charges linked to multiple thefts
at Victoria’s Secret, Sephora and
Abercrombie & Fitch stores in Massachusetts
and New Hampshire. Media reports have
estimated the amount of stolen merchandise
at more than $100,000. She was arrested
without incident yesterday at 2 p.m. at her
home in Lawrence, according to Peabody
Police.
Just two weeks ago, Victoria’s Secret at the
Northshore Mall reported the theft of 72
bras worth more than $3,700. It was the
ninth time the store had been hit since
April. There has been a similar rash of
thefts at the Mall at Rockingham Park in New
Hampshire. Peabody Police started
investigating the crimes in May, working
with Lawrence Police, the U.S. Marshal’s
Office, the Essex County Sheriff’s
Department, Northshore Mall Security and
loss prevention officials at Sephora and
Victoria’s Secret.
Patrolman John Nelson and Detective Ralph
Scopa headed the investigation for Peabody
Police, with assistance from patrol officers
who cover the Northshore Mall as part of
their beat. During the course of the
four-month investigation, police obtained a
photograph of the suspect, which was
provided to the media. Investigators soon
learned the woman’s identity, but were
unable to locate her for some time. Peabody
Police obtained a warrant for the suspect on
multiple counts of larceny over $250. Santos
was charged with six counts of larceny over
$250 and three counts of trespassing.
