Plano Police Arrest Two Suspects in $10,000 Retail Theft Spree

A loss prevention officer's quick call to police on Feb. 25 unraveled what Plano investigators described as an ongoing retail theft spree, leading to the arrest of two women connected to more than $10,000 in stolen merchandise.

Detective J. Dollar, assigned to the Plano Police Department's General Assignments Division, received the tip after a loss prevention officer spotted two women inside a local store. The women were already known to law enforcement for previous thefts across Allen, McKinney, and Plano, and their presence in the store gave investigators the opening they needed to move on the case.

Plano police confirmed the arrests were made in connection with thefts of property valued at over $10,000. The department has not publicly identified the two suspects, and no information on formal charges, booking details, or court dates has been released. The specific store where the loss prevention officer made the identification has not been named.

The investigation underscores a pattern that has drawn attention across northern Collin County, with the two suspects allegedly operating across multiple cities before police closed in. Whether prosecutors in Plano will coordinate with Allen or McKinney authorities on any prior incidents remains an open question.

Key details, including the exact arrest date, the nature of the merchandise stolen, and whether any property was recovered, have not been confirmed by police.
