Police said the five suspects, working together, grabbed pricey handbags off the displays and were gone in less than a minute.
Ross Township police have released photos of the five people suspected of a coordinated-shoplifting hit on the Louis Vuitton store in the Ross Park Mall. Police said the five walked into the store around 8 p.m. Thursday, and working together, grabbed the pricey handbags off the displays and were gone in about 30 seconds. By the time employees realized what was going on it was too late. "The employees did attempt to confront the actors when they fled the store," said Detective Brian Kohlhepp. "No one was injured and no customers were ever in danger." Kohlhepp said the group left the mall in a car, but there is not a good description of the vehicle. "The group appears to be a mix of males and females all in their 20s or early 30s and all …

The pair was caught with nearly $5,000 worth of merchandise in a rented pickup truck on McKnight Road.
A mother coerced her 14-year-old daughter to go on a high-end shoplifting spree inside Ross Park Mall Sunday, before police nabbed them on McKnight Road, according to Ross Township police. Kate Spiker, 36, of Sharpsburg, was seen snatching high-end purses inside Nordstrom, according to police. Her daughter was outside, behind the wheel of a rented pickup truck, waiting while her mother made several trips in and out of various shops with the loot, police said. “They took nearly $5,000 worth of merchandise,” said Ross Twp. Police Sgt. Ben Dripps. “High-end merchandise such as purses, nightwear, lingerie—all stuff women would love.

Bryan Lamar Porter Jr., 18, faces a felony count of forgery.
Ross Township police have charged a Pittsburgh man with using fake $100 bills to buy merchandise inside Ross Park Mall. Bryan Lamar Porter Jr., 18, is charged with a felony count of forgery and two misdemeanor counts of theft. He also is charged with possessing an instrument of crime. “This wasn't Monopoly money or some low-end quality.
