A Connecticut couple stole nearly $1 million worth of Lululemon merchandise during a two-month, cross-country theft spree, cops said.
Jadion Richards, 44, and Akwele Lawes-Richards, 45, were busted on Nov. 14 for swiping the swanky fitness wear from shops in Minnesota, Utah, Colorado, New York and Connecticut since September, according to a criminal complaint obtained by multiple outlets.
The alleged theft-spree came to an end when Lululemon investigators noticed the high theft loss after the pair set off a security alarm while leaving a store in Woodbury, Minnesota.
Richards accused store employees of racially profiling him, according to the complaint, but the company investigator alleged the couple had stolen at least 45 items valued at $5,000 from several different locations the day before.
Officers arrested the couple and found several credit and debit cards, as well as a room key to a Marriott hotel room — where they discovered 12 suitcases, three of which were filled with Lululemon products worth approximately $50,000, according to the complaint.

WOW, an ugly criminal pair indeed.
Gross, who is that thing?
LOL!
I know they are black by their NAMES!
YIKES!
Must be Amish. They always claim racial profiling when they get caught committing crimes. Or maybe that is some other demographic group. You never can tell from most media reports.
Too bad (for them) they weren’t in California - they would have been released (if arrested at all) and the stolen merch returned to them.
They could have done it in daily increments of $950 and no one would have stopped them or said a thing.
Jadion and Akwele. Forget the photos.
Seen that happen at a Home Depot.
I’m buying stuff at the self check out that will beep when I walk out the door, and I’m being observed by an employee so no problem.
Then some kid with a backpack full of tools walks out right next to me...

$1M? So they took 1 pair of leggings, and a couple of pairs of socks?

Stealing tools. California?

Thanks!
Apparently cartoonish bums and lips are “in” and hopefully going out. Where I own my rental property, there is a very blonde woman with a hispanic last name (who is a train wreck) and has such a cartoonesque bum.
It’s very difficult to take anything she says seriously. She currently is advocating for a local Tyrone Biggums to build a drug rehab center in the middle of town with gov’t funds.
