The 21-year-old alleged ringleader complained that if her mother had been able to follow simple instructions they never would have been arrested, police say.
CONCORD — Prosecutors have charged four people in connection with a retail theft ring that allegedly hit nearly 100 stores during a two-month period last year, court records show.
The defendants include a 21-year-old Richmond woman — who police say was the ringleader — as well as her mother and her mother’s fiance, court records show. The investigation started in March 2023, when the 21-year-old woman and a female accomplice allegedly stole $10,000 worth of sunglasses from a business in the Sunvalley Mall.
The 21-year-old woman was later released from jail, but before she was, she allegedly called her boyfriend to complain that if her mother had been able to follow her instructions, the cops never would have arrested them. After her release, police used a tracking device and other surveillance techniques to follow members of the theft ring, and documented them going to 93 stores around Northern California, from May to July 2023, authorities said.
