ATLANTA — Authorities say they’ve busted a major shoplifting operation that may be responsible for stealing more than $300,000 worth of merchandise from metro Atlanta stores.
According to police, two different crews have been going to stores, mostly Victoria’s Secret, and stuffing trash bags with goods.
Channel 2's Tyisha Fernandes has learned six suspects have been arrested and there's a warrant out for a seventh.
"There's actually more than two crews. That's just the two we've been able to identify, and there's still a current investigation going on, identifying more people," Cpl. Brandon Townley said.
