Police arrested 11 shoplifting suspects connected to a retail theft operation in downtown Seattle on Thursday afternoon.

According to the Seattle Police Department (SPD), detectives and officers worked with loss prevention teams to locate the suspects, who gathered "items like clothing, makeup, food, and liquor" before walking out of the store without paying.

Police arrested the shoplifters and returned the merchandise to the store, SPD said.

One of the suspects arrested also had nine outstanding warrants, police said, and officers booking him into King County Jail for "theft and several of his warrants."

2. Witnessed a group of shoplifters right before Christmas

I live in Gresham, OR, which is near Portland. My daughter and I were leaving a Fred Meyer right before Christmas when 3 younger women rushed out of the store overloaded with bags. My daughter said that "those women are shoplifting". We went outside and watched them get in their car quickly, but we were not get close enough to get their license plate number. Then we went to PetCo a few minutes later, and while we were waiting in line, these same 3 women rushed out of the store with large bags of pet food and other items. It was shocking and made us so angry. The poor workers in the store said that people rush out everyday with shoplifted items, and they feel so helpless. I am so tired of crime.

3. Good

There was a Big lots we had in San Francisco and the store finally closed because of shoplifters driving them out of business. I saw a guy just walk out with a space heater and no one stopped him. The store workers told me that the police would only come if the stolen items was over $750. It really pissed me off that the thief’s got away with it with no consequences. I’m glad they were caught in Seattle.
