SAN DIEGO—A San Diego County woman who allegedly ran a retail theft ring that targeted stores nationwide and resulted in nearly $8 million in losses has been charged along with her alleged co-conspirators, the California Attorney General’s Office announced Feb. 16.
The defendant, whose name was not publicly disclosed by prosecutors, allegedly directed others to shoplift products—largely high-demand makeup items—from various retail stores and then resold the stolen products on her online Amazon storefront.
