Kannapolis, N.C., Police Officers arrested two women suspected of shoplifting
thousands of dollars from stores up and down the East Coast. On Sunday, police
received a call from a Target Loss Prevention Agent convinced the two women at

members of a crime ring that have eluded police. Police uncovered $6,143 in
electronics sealed in a file cabinet box. Police say the duo removed the filing
cabinet from the box, and used the empty box to conceal the stolen merchandise.
Police say the women used tape to reseal the box and tried to go through the
check out, where they were stopped. Police say the suspects carried fake IDs.

women were wanted in New York, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Georgia for the
