Three Women Arraigned For Alleged Outlet Shoplifting

Three Boston women were arraigned in Wrentham District Court this week on charges that they took over $4,000 worth of merchandise from the Wrentham Premium Outlets.

Glenisha Crump, 28, of 1226 Columbia Rd.; Chandra Wilkerson, 30, of 5 Sutton St.; and Kamilah Fuller-Givens, 36, of 61 Alpha Rd. were charged with shoplifting, eight counts of receiving stolen property worth less than $250, eight counts of receiving stolen property worth more than $250 and conspiracy.

Detective Lt. William McGrath wrote in an affidavit that he received a call from the True Religion outlet store manager on Dec. 20 at around 12:20pm. The manager said three women were in the store and had been acting suspiciously.

The manager told police that the women had been spotted in the store on previous dates, and had been suspected of shoplifting.

According to the manager, the women were handling two pair of designer jeans worth more than $400, and those jeans could no longer be found. The inventory control device that had been on the jeans was found on a nearby clothing rack.

Lt. McGrath said he left the store and was accidentally bumped by Crump. He said she hurried past, met the two other women and told them excitedly that they should leave.

McGrath said he quickened his pace to follow the women. He said Crump had two shopping bags, one from Abercrombie and Fitch and another from Zumiez, and that there was merchandise in the bags that was not from either store.

McGrath said he saw the women get into a vehicle in the parking lot, and said he was able to park an undercover vehicle next to them. He said he saw the women emptying bags onto the car seats and laughing and shouting happily.

He said the women got out of the vehicle, carrying the now-empty bags.

McGrath said he contacted the Zumiez store, and spoke to an employee who said the women come into the store frequently, buy low priced items and request the largest bags available.

According to McGrath, the three women returned to the vehicle at about 3pm and immediately drove away. He said he followed the vehicle and stopped it on South Street.

McGrath said the van was full of new merchandise, including a pair of True Religion jeans with a tear on the waistline where the inventory tags are frequently placed. The total worth of the goods recovered, he said, was $4,091.
