The Alexandria Police Department is investigating the theft of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from the Lululemon store (700 King Street) in Old Town.
On Sept. 23 (Tuesday), the store manager reported that two women stole $5,536 in merchandise from the store at around 8:30 p.m. The manager told APD that the suspects “began selecting clothing while appearing to check the sizes of the merchandise,” and then left the store with the clothing, according to a recently released search warrant affidavit.
The manager took pictures of the suspects leaving the store and driving away in a silver Toyota with Virginia tags. Police traced the vehicle to a Maryland-based locksmith, which rents vehicles, and contacted the owner of the company. The owner provided police with the rental agreement for the Toyota, as well as the GPS location, according to the search warrant affidavit.
APD contacted the renter of the vehicle, who told police that they weren’t in Alexandria that day, and that the Toyota had been stolen. The renter of the vehicle has not been charged.
ALXnow has reached out to APD for more on this incident.
Earlier this year, four women were arrested for stealing $3,500 worth of merchandise from the Lululemon in Old Town.
