Franconia Police District – Detectives from our Franconia Shopping Center Unit arrested an out-of-state retail theft crew in Springfield for stealing over-the-counter medications.
On July 9, around 8:50 p.m., detectives responded to Target at 6600 Springfield Mall for a larceny in progress. The suspects, an adult man and a teenage female, were actively stealing a large quantity of over-the-counter medications. At the sight of detectives, the two suspects fled in different directions inside the mall.
Detectives located and arrested both suspects. A third adult female suspect was found to be associated with the crew and arrested. Detectives suspect this crew of being involved in over $50,000 worth of thefts from Target stores along the East Coast.
