Women Charged With Filling Their Purses at Macy's

Three Minneapolis women were charged with felony theft over $1,000 after allegedly shoplifting from Macy's.

Juanita Lashon Wilson, 25; Terri Lynette Sisson, 24; and Raven Denise Hampton, 21, each face one count of theft.

On Dec. 2, 2012, Minnetonka Police responded to a reported theft at the Macy's store at Ridgedale Center in Minnetonka. Store staff said the women were carrying large purses that appeared to be empty and selecting items without regard for price or size. The women allegedly exited a fitting room with noticeably bigger purses and nothing in their hands.

As the women exited the mall with Macy's staff pursuing them, one purse full of Macy's merchandise was dropped, according to the complaint. The women got into a waiting car and fled the parking lot, according to police. The vehicle was stopped nearby, and items from Macy's totaling more than $1,000 were recovered.
