BELLEVUE, Wash. — Four women were arrested and charged with organized retail theft after a painstaking investigation by the Bellevue Police Department involving pricey designer sunglasses.
Police said the thefts happened between Sept. 19 and Nov. 30, with the suspects working together to steal brand-name sunglasses from the Nordstrom store at Bellevue Square Mall.
Investigators said the women would enter the store in a group, quickly steal numerous pairs of sunglasses, and then hide them in their clothing and bags before leaving the store.
