Two women are arrested for shoplifting and police say they used their bodies to conceal the goods. Edmond police authorities say it was at the Edmond TJ Maxx that loss prevention officers found the duo stuffing items under their belly fat and breasts.
They say they took four pair of boots, three pair of jeans, a wallet and gloves; $2,600 worth of store merchandise.
Ailene Brown, 28, and 37-year-old Shmeco Thomas were arrested for shoplifting and are facing felony charges.
Officer James Hamm said, "These two were actually concealing them in areas of their body where excess skin was, under their chest area and armpits."
Police say Brown also had a knife in her purse they say she used to cut security tags in the store. |

Two women caught shoplifting $2600 worth of goods. That is $1300 each. Now just imagine this. We are not talking about Tiffany's & Co. where $1300 won't get you very far, but shoplifting from a TJ Maxx, a discount retailer. That is a lot of merchandise. Just imagine that you are so fat as to be able to hide $1300 worth of merchandise inside your own rolls, including two pairs of boots. Not just the boots, but they tried hiding everything else under their extra cushions.
My god, my god... Only in America. |
