 Washington,
PA: WV sisters arrested for retail theft were stealing 'for the fun of it'
Two sisters from West Virginia reportedly told Police they were stealing for the
fun of it after they were arrested Wednesday afternoon at Tanger Outlets.
Gabrielle E. Dean, 24, and Michaelann F. Dean, 22, were taken into custody after
police were called to the outlets by an assistant general manager. When Police
arrived they pulled up behind the vehicle, he said he could see Michaelann Dean
with a hypodermic needle in her hand getting ready to inject suspected heroin.
Molinaro said he asked her to get out and asked her where the merchandise was,
and she told him it was in the vehicle. Police were given permission to search
the vehicle and said they found 23 items valued at $1,056 that had been stolen
from several stores. Gabrielle Dean was caught after she ran out of American
Eagle. Police said they found items valued at $209.75 that reportedly were
stolen from the store in her purse, along with a pair of wire-cutting pliers.
She allegedly told police she and her sister were "taking items for the fun of
it."

 Lewisville,
TX: Teens admit to longtime theft scheme at Ulta Beauty
Anytime friends Jamie Oh and Brenda Salazar wanted new makeup, they would make
their way to a local beauty supply store and steal what they desired. This went
on for more than a year until the two were arrested for organized retail theft
March 5. "They were seen on the surveillance footage walking around, taking
turns as a look out in order not to get caught by employees concealing
merchandise," said Lewisville police officer Codie Bannister. "They also
admitted that every couple weeks they would go to the Ulta store to steal
merchandise. The girls said they would then 'barter items among each other.'"
Their one-day total of stolen merchandise was more than $500, but there was no
way to know the value of the rest of their haul both admitted to stealing over
the course of the year. Oh and Salazar were arrested for organized retail theft.
