Vienna, W.Va. (AP) -- Vienna police are searching for organized teams of shoplifters who looted about $25,000 worth of merchandise from two stores at the Grand Central Mall in a single day.
The Victoria's Secret and Aeropostale stores were hit between 1 P.M. and 4 P.M. last Friday.
Victoria's Secret reports that about 400 bras and 350 pairs of panties were stolen, worth about $23,000. Aeropostale says more than $2,000 worth of t-shirts were stolen.
Vienna Police Sgt. R.W. Shuman says it's unclear whether both thefts were carried out by the same gang. Shuman believes the thieves used specially lined shopping bags to avoid setting off the stores' alarms, and had decoys distract employees while the shops were looted.
