According to police, on at least three separate occasions (once in July and twice in August), the two women walked into the Macy’s, selected men’s Polo brand shirts from the rack and stuffed them into empty shopping bags that they brought with them. The women then walked out of the store without paying for the merchandise. These same two women may have committed similar thefts at the Dillards at Melbourne Square Mall.

The Polo shirts that are mainly targeted by these suspects sell for $80 each. The duo has also taken other clothing items – all from the Polo brand and it is believed that these suspects may be responsible for the theft of over $10,000 worth of merchandise, according to police.

Anyone with information about the investigation is urged to call CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).
