Police Arrest 2 In Connection With $2,000 Theft From True Religion

Officers arrested two Minnesota women Friday, May 20, after they were spotted stealing more than $2,000 worth of clothing from , according to police.

Marnika M. Jackson, 32, of Robbinsdale, MN, and Yasmeen M. Almonte, 18, of Minneapolis, were allegedly seen taking several pieces of clothing from the store without paying and loading them into their car, police reported.

Officers stopped the two women as they were driving away from Northbrook Court, searched the car, and found even more clothing inside that was apparently stolen, according to police.

“Some stuff has tags, some stuff doesn’t have tags,” said Northbrook Community Relations Supervisor Mike Shep. “I don’t know if we’ll ever have the value of the clothes, because they don’t all have tags.”

Shep said Northbrook police seized several bags worth of clothing from the car, although he couldn’t say exactly how many individual pieces there were. The items stolen from True Religion were valued at approximately $2,126, while all together, Shep said the total value of stolen clothing was probably several thousand dollars more.

Both Jackson and Almonte were charged with felony retail theft and are awaiting bond hearings.
