Women busted with $2K worth of stolen Target merch in California
Authorities in Orange County have announced the arrests of two women who they said were caught earlier this month with roughly $2,000 worth of stolen Target merchandise.
“Mission Viejo deputies and the Community Services Unit (CSU) worked with Target Loss Prevention to successfully arrest some organized retail theft suspects,” the Sheriff’s Department posted on Instagram Tuesday.
The two suspects were arrested after allegedly stealing from three stores in south Orange County, authorities said.

Deputies said they recovered about $2,000 worth of merchandise and returned it to the affected retailers.
The suspects, whose identities were not released, were arrested on charges of shoplifting, organized retail theft and conspiracy, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
Images of some of the items, including a meth pipe, were shared in the Instagram post.
“Don’t worry, they were also charged with possession of that meth pipe and use of the fraudulent handicapped placard you see in the photos,” the post read.
Officials said one of the suspects was on post-release community supervision after previous convictions for theft, grand theft and burglary.
The other suspect had five active warrants for theft, drugs, and resisting a peace officer.
“Unsurprisingly, they admitted to trading stolen merchandise for drugs,” the Sheriff’s Department said.
