Police: Women in theft ring taking perfume, clothes, purses from malls (WKRC)

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WKRC) - Police are trying to stop a theft ring that's been busy at local malls.

A group of women are hitting stores and walking about with thousands of dollars in perfume as well as purses, clothes and shoes.

Detectives think up to 10 women are working in teams of three, sometimes five, and targeting Liberty Center and other stores. They change up their appearance and up to this point have managed to elude police.

Three of the people involved in the alleged theft ring are seen in a store surveillance photo. They are suspected of stealing $3,500 worth of perfume from the Dillard’s store at Liberty Center.

Butler County Sheriff’s Detective Kim Peters says this team has a game plan when entering the store.

Detective Peters says the thieves have not only been targeting perfume from Dillard’s, they have also been stealing clothing, boots and purses.

In a separate theft, $5,000 worth of purses were stolen. Other stores at the complex, like Victoria Secrets, have also been hit.

What happens to the merchandise? Investigators say it quickly turns up on a Facebook app called "Marketplace" to be sold. Members of the ring have been hard to catch.

There have been several thefts at Liberty Center in recent weeks. One woman was caught on camera stealing purses from the Dillard’s store. She is believed to be operating separately from the women allegedly involved in the theft ring.

While elusive for now, detectives are confident they will catch the thieves.

You might ask why stores can't stop thieves such as these. Well, many stores have a policy of not confronting a suspect, and they will call law enforcement. Sometimes that is too late.

Detectives say the women are also suspected of thefts from stores at Northgate Mall and Tri-County Mall.

A blue Chrysler is believed to be the getaway car.

If you recognize any of the suspects, please call CrimeStoppers at (513) 352-3040.
