A woman stole nearly $300 worth of merch from a Target, by swapping labels.
Carla Nishikura, was arrested on charges of shoplifting, scheme to defraud and violation of probation, by the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, after they responded to a shoplifting incident at the Target store.
The store's loss prevention officer, reported seeing her remove price tags from clothes and replacing them with cheaper tags. She then, took a price tag from a pencil box and placed it over a Lego set, along with other items, and went to the self-checkout. There, she scanned only five of the 12 items she took, which came out to $19.50, but the total of what was in the cart was $268.48.
"She apparently likes 5-finger discounts and doesn’t want to pay for items like the rest of us must do," Sheriff Rick Staly said. "We won’t allow shoplifting in Flagler County, so hopefully she is learning her lesson while spending time in the Green Roof Inn."
