Dallas
jewelry store employee arrested for theft, re-selling items A Dallas
jewelry store employee originally arrested for stealing one item had actually
been taking items for months according to Dallas police. The employee, Mary
Gregory, had been stealing items from Kendra Scott Jewelry in Uptown since
January and selling them on Craigslist. Police believe more than $18,000 worth
of merchandise had been stolen since the start of the year. Gregory had a theft
charge filed against her on Tuesday, but when police began to investigate on
Wednesday they discovered more thefts. Store management provided police with
surveillance video that showed one of the thefts. Police were then able to
obtain a warrant and found additional merchandise in the woman's purse. Gregory
confessed to stealing from the store since January and another warrant found
more items in her apartment. The suspect has been jailed on multiple theft
charges. (Source

Six Arrested In Attempted Flash Mob Burglary Of Upscale Ventura County Store
Six Bay Area women were arrested, after law enforcement officers say they tried
a flash mob style burglary of an upscale women’s clothing store in Ventura
County. Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies say that just after 3:30 yesterday, a
group of six to eight women walked into the Tory Burch store in the Camarillo

filling with merchandise. About 30 seconds later, when one of the store
employees contacted one of the women, the group fled from the store, and ran to
a van. The employees called 911. Responding deputies quickly reviewed
surveillance video, and identified the van, and other officers stopped it on the

Double Bust at Moraga, CA HomeGoods Store Tuesday
Two women were arrested Tuesday -- as their small children sat nearby -- after
allegedly "returning" items stolen from the Moraga HomeGoods store, according to

for store credit, police said. Johnson is allegedly a repeat offender and
familiar to the Moraga store employees, who documented her previous offenses on
March 31, April 3 and April 5, and reported them to law enforcement on April 7,
police said. (Source
