Shoplifter wanted in 7 states caught stealing from Target in Goshen, IN  A Kentucky woman suspected of shoplifting from Target stores in seven states was arrested on theft charges last week in Goshen. Shamon L. Smith, 43, of Louisville, Ky., was arrested by Goshen Police as she left the store at 3938 Midway Road with stolen merchandise, according to a police report. Smith had taken two Brightspot cell phones and two pairs of Beats by Dre headphones, worth a total of $1,200, according to Goshen police spokeswoman Tina Kingsbury. An investigator for the Target Corporation told police that he suspected Smith to be responsible for $60,000 in thefts from stores in seven states. Smith was arrested on theft-related charges in August in Concord Township, Ohio, after police pulled her over for a traffic violation and found $5,000 worth of stolen clothing in her car. The clothing, which police believed was stolen from Michigan department stores, was packed in "booster bags," which are lined with a material that prevents store security alarms from going off when leaving the store with stolen merchandise.
