the

 Shoplifter wanted in 7 states caught stealing
from Target in Goshen, IN
A Kentucky woman suspected of shoplifting from Target stores in
seven
states was arrested on theft charges last week in Goshen. Shamon L. Smith,
43,
of Louisville, Ky., was arrested by Goshen Police as she left the store at
3938
Midway Road with stolen merchandise, according to a police report. Smith had
taken two Brightspot cell phones and two pairs of Beats by Dre headphones,
worth
a total of $1,200, according to Goshen police spokeswoman Tina Kingsbury. An
investigator for the Target Corporation told police that he suspected Smith
to
be responsible for $60,000 in thefts from stores in seven states. Smith was
arrested on theft-related charges in August in Concord Township, Ohio, after
police pulled her over for a traffic violation and found $5,000 worth of
stolen
clothing in her car. The clothing, which police believed was stolen from
Michigan department stores, was packed in "booster bags," which
are lined with a
material that prevents store security alarms from going off when leaving the
store with stolen merchandise. (Source
