Dumb Criminals: Minnesota Shoplifter Took $300 In Goods From Mall, Arrived In, and Left In Limo
A woman is accused of taking a limousine to a Rochester business, shoplifting from the store, then calling the limo for a ride back home.
The limo driver was instrumental in helping police find the woman, who allegedly fought with store security before running away with about $300 in headbands and miscellaneous clothing items, said Lt. Jim Evenson.
The case began about 7:15 p.m. Monday, when officers were called to Scheels All Sports sporting goods store, 1220 12th St. SW, for a report of a shoplifter.
As police searched the area for the 22-year-old, the limo driver stopped and asked who they were looking for. When he heard the description, he told officers it might be the woman who'd just called him for a ride back to downtown Rochester.
Law enforcement followed him to the pick-up spot and arrested the woman, Evenson said.
