Four women in 'organized crime group' stole from at least 13 stores at Tysons, police say - Washington Post

The four women hailed from New York. Over the weekend, they stole more than $29,000 in items from more than a dozen different stores at Tysons Corner Center in Virginia, authorities said.

Fairfax County police said they believe the four women are part of an “organized crime group that is hitting stores across the country.”

The county police department has a specialized group of officers, known as its Christmas Anti-Theft Team (CATT) that tracks thieves at area malls during the holiday season. Last year, the CATT recovered over $315,000 in stolen property and seized assets, officials said.

This weekend’s group of women stole items from at least 13 different stores at the mall, police said. They did not say what items were taken.

The four were charged with 23 felony and three misdemeanor charges related to the thefts, police said.

They were identified by police as Glenis Brown, Aleisha Greenwood, Latasha Lawson and Stephanie Winter.
