VIRGINIA BEACH

Police are looking for a young woman suspected of stealing $3,300 worth of bras and panties from the Victoria's Secret store at Lynnhaven Mall, an official said.

The woman dropped her cell phone as she ran from the store Sunday afternoon after a clerk asked if she needed help, police spokesman Adam Bernstein said.

The woman is suspected of swiping about 45 low-cut bras and 105 pairs of panties and stuffing them into a bag that she brought with her, Bernstein said.

Investigators released two photos that they said they found on the woman's cell phone. One is of the suspect; the other is of a man who might have been an accomplice or an acquaintance, Bernstein said.

The woman also is suspected of stealing from other Victoria's Secret stores across the region, including three other thefts this year at the Lynnhaven Mall Victoria's Secret, Bernstein said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP (1-888-562-5887).

Maybe they will use this picture on her booking card.

This genius woman reminds me of the bank robber that a few years back left his car keys on the counter of the bank when he returned to get back his hold-up note. As long as these idiots are out there I will always have a job.

"Across the Region".../.& maybe farther

VERY INTERESTING

I think its an inside job. Because every Vici Secret that I've been to, every piece has a security tag, especially the bras, so you tell me how in the world is she able to get away with the same crime over and over, of course she had help!!! It makes perfect sense. Someone better check their employees, check some cameras!!!!!

clean house

victoria's secret should clean house , and fire everyone in that store where are all the employees while this woman was packing up all these goods , its a good thing this woman didnt pack up the cash register too , the store is nothing but way over priced items ,

She probably stole the cell

She probably stole the cell phone as well :p

Lingerie

Hopefully,if she decides to wear any of the stolen underwear,it'll give her a bad rash!

Just keep your eyes on ebay. It should all be listed for sale any day now.

Gertz

SLT is Victoria Secret's "Sexy Little Thing" line. I found that when I googled and found an article about a woman who sued VC because a decorative piece of metal popped off and hit her in her cornea, causing permanent damage. :)

"BTW what's a SLT?I believe

"BTW what's a SLT?

I believe they just left out the "U".

Gotta think on this one

At first I wanted to chalk it up to another dumb criminal (which of course she is) but then I started wondering who really is the dumb one here. The one who steals the overpriced pieces of cloth, or the ones that pay such outrageous prices for a name on garments rarely seen by anyone but the wearer?

Thief

Looks like she's been stealing sunglasses as well..

where to look for the undies

Check out ebay and Craigslist. Tis the season you know. BTW what's a SLT?

...

one would think they should be caught soon, since their cell phone account probably has their name on it... d'oh!
