Cops: Women Went on Clothes, Perfume ‘Shopping Spree’

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a little help from Westchase area residents to identify two women they say went on a two-store shoplifting spree.

According to a sheriff’s office media release, the women walked into the Bath & Body Works at Westfield Citrus Park around 8:01 p.m. Jan. 11 and helped themselves to about $500 in lotions and perfumes. Once they were done there, they paid a visit to the Gap and took nearly $600 in clothing.

The suspects are both described as black females between the age of 22 and 29 years. One is about 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs about 150 pounds. She has long black hair and was last seen wearing a pink tank top, black vest, black leggings and was carrying a Hello Kitty bag.

The second suspect is also about 5 feet, 6 inches tall, but weighs about 180 pounds. She was last seen wearing a multi-colored top, blue jean vest, black shorts, black boots and carrying a large, tan-colored purse.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 813-247-8200. Those wishing to be eligible for a reward can pass tips along through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-873-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be reported anonymously online at www.crimestopperstb.com or
