Jackets worth $480 taken from LR store

A woman who possibly had a knife took about $500 worth of clothes from a Little Rock department store Saturday, according to a police report.

Officers responded to the J.C. Penney at 2600 S. Shackleford Road shortly after 2 p.m., where an employee said a woman had gone into the store and taken three leather jackets without paying, the report stated.

A cashier had tried to talk to her, the employee told police, but the robber “displayed a shiny object” in her pocket and fled the store. The report listed the object as a knife/cutting instrument.

The jackets reportedly have a total value of about $480.

Authorities said security footage of the parking lot showed the woman getting into a silver 2000 Ford Taurus.

A witness in the lot identified the woman, noting that she takes stolen clothes to an address on West 13th Street, according to the report. There is a man at that address who sells the clothing with the tags still on, the witness told police.

The 52-year-old woman named as a suspect on the report did not appear in the Pulaski County jail’s online inmate roster.
