Two women were arrested Thursday for stealing more than $22,900 worth of perfume from a western Pennsylvania mall, according to a story from WPXI.
Stephanie Hopkins, of Pittsburgh, and De Siree Riley, of McKees Rocks, were taken into custody after being accused of taking 73 bottles of perfume from a Nordstrom store at the Ross Park Mall in Allegheny County.
According to police, the Nordstrom manager said the two women put 30 bottles of Tom Ford fragrance in shopping bags and left the store. The manager also said the same women had been in the store on Monday, and had stolen 30 bottles of Tom Ford fragrance and 13 bottles of Sauvage fragrance at that time, WPXI reported.
Citing a criminal complaint, WPXI said police were given a description of the women, who reportedly had a toddler with them, and the car they were driving. An officer later attempted to conduct a traffic stop but Hopkins, who was driving, fled.
Police later found the vehicle parked in the 300 block of Pleasant Ridge Road in Stowe Township. They then located Hopkins and Riley and took them into custody, and recovered the perfume.
Hopkins is charged with two counts of retail theft, endangering the welfare of children, possessing an instrument of crime, fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, driving with a suspended license, failure to stop at a red light and reckless driving, WPXI said.
Riley is being charged with two counts of retail theft and possessing an instrument of crime.
