According to police, the theft included 207 items of clothing, one pair of shoes, three toys, and the piece of luggage. In total, the items were worth $4,607.97.
Jain enlisted her two young daughters to help her steal more than $4,600 worth of merchandise is extremely disturbing," DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said. "Retail theft, which, according to the National Retail Foundation, amounted to nearly $35 billion in losses nationwide in 2022, is not a victimless crime. Losses are ultimately paid for by consumers, employees, business owners, shareholders, and entire communities.
