Steubenville Police
Change of plans: Employees at J.C. Penney spotted two women they thought were shoplifting, Friday. The manager said one of them arrived at the store with a large, empty tote "that appeared to get fuller and fuller, as if they were concealing merchandise in it" as they wandered through the store browsing the clothing aisles then went into the fitting room. Police were outside waiting for them to emerge when one of the women walked out of the fitting room and saw them, then "immediately returned back into the fitting stall she was sharing with the other female." They emerged together and showed office their bags were empty nor were there any items in the fitting room. The pair remained in the store for a while longer before purchasing a few items and leaving, police said. The manager advised the two "are in and out of the store several times a day and they have suspected them of stealing several times," police said.
Christmas shopping: A woman spent several hours in Shoe Department Encore before grabbing a pair of new shoes and sticking her old ones in the box, Friday. The manager said the woman put the new shoes on "and walked around the store for some time before attempting to leave with the new shoes still on" her feet. When the manager told her she'd need to give the shoes back if she wasn't going to purchase them she started arguing and was still wearing them when she ran out of the store. The shoes were valued at $60.
