Shoplifters Nabbed At Mervyn's

Sonora, CA -- Two Sonora teenagers have been caught in the act of shoplifting this week at Mervyn's.

Tuesday 19 year old Katherine Shaw was caught after trying to steal two pair of jeans, a pair of shoes and several pieces of jewelry valued at $220. That incident was reported to the Sonora Police Department.

Today a 16 year old female entered the lingerie department where she tried on a bra and a pair of tights valued at $50. She proceeded to put her clothing on over those two items and exited the store where she was apprehended. Even though she is a minor and was shoplifiting less than $100 in merchandise, because of her school probation status, her shoplifting incident was reported to the Police Department .

Brian Gault, Department Supervisor of Loss Prevention at Sonora Mervyn's, says his staff is always on the lookout for shoplifters and he adds that it is truly a full time job.
