Two people from Connecticut are facing charges after the authorities asserted that they were part of a theft ring that stole nearly $1 million worth of merchandise from Lululemon stores across the nation.

Last September, Lululemon stores in Edina, Minneapolis, and Minnetonka, Minnesota, were the first known targets of an alleged theft scheme. Additional Lululemon stores in Colorado, Utah, Connecticut, and New York state reported that they experienced thefts as well, and the authorities believed the same suspects were involved in all the incidents.

The police believed the suspects would enter each store and remove a security tag from one of the lower-priced items while stashing merchandise under their shirts. After placing the tag on more costly merchandise, one of the suspects would make a small purchase. All the suspects would exit the stores at the same time, so when the security alarms went off, the purchaser would return to the counter with the tagged item while the other suspects walked away without incident.
