Attachment Louisa Garrett Dickey's Barbecue Pit lgarrett@dickeys.comA Connecticut couple is accused of running an elaborate theft ring at Lululemon stores in multiple states, stealing nearly a million dollars from the company. Jadion Anthony Richards and Akwele Nickeisha Lawes-Richards are both charged with organized retail theft under a Minnesota law signed by Gov. Tim Walz only last year. The case comes as retailers say the tide is gradually turning on what had been described as an epidemic of shoplifting . Richards, Lawes-Richards and a third unidentified person worked together at Lululemon stores in Roseville and Woodbury, Minnesota, to walk away with thousands of dollars in merchandise, according to the criminal complaint. Police say more than US$50,000 in Lululemon goods were found in suitcases left behind in the suspects’ hotel room in Bloomington. “The total loss to Lululemon with Richards, Lawes-Richards and their group (the company) identified so far is closer to US$1,000,000,” court documents say. Investigators say Richards would make a small purchase, get a receipt, and then return to the sales floor, meeting up with Lawes-Richards and the other accomplice, who entered separately. Richards and Lawes-Richards would then remove a sensor from an item on the sales floor and put it onto an item Richards had just purchased.

(Ramsey County Sheriff's Office via CNN Newsource) They would then allegedly stuff thousands of dollars in Lululemon merchandise into Lawes-Richards’ clothing, then all leave together. When the store’s theft alarm would beep, the complaint says, Richards pretended to believe he had set off the alarm: While staff inspected his purchased item and removed the sensor the alleged thieves placed on it, the two accomplices walked out of the store with the stolen goods. Lululemon employees didn’t stop them, believing Richards’ purchased items had set the sensors off. Richards was released last week on US$100,000 bond. Lawes-Richards is free on US$30,000 bond. Both were ordered to appear in court on December 16. Both suspects face a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, a US$35,000 fine, or both, if convicted, according to the charging documents. Richards and Lawes-Richards were both assigned public defenders. Requests for comment from CNN to their attorneys were not immediately returned Monday. The criminal complaint says both denied committing any theft when first confronted by police. They have not entered pleas. Suspects monitored by company for months The police were assisted by “an organized retail crime investigator for Lululemon,” court documents say, indicating the company had been following the couple for months across stores in Minnesota, Colorado and Utah. The company told investigators they would cash in after returning to Connecticut and New York, allegedly using a series of complicated exchanges at Lululemon stores to get cash for stolen merchandise. “We are deeply committed to creating a safe and secure environment for our people and guests,” Lululemon asset protection vice president Tristen Shields said in a statement. “This outcome continues to underscore our ongoing collaboration with law enforcement and our investments in advanced technology, team training and investigative capabilities to combat retail crime and hold offenders accountable.” High-profile cases of retail theft in recent years have prompted both lawmakers to crack down with tougher penalties and retailers to ramp up their efforts to investigate thefts on their own. In May, CNN reported a Home Depot theft ring was discovered with the help of a monthslong investigation by the corporation’s internal security force, ending in a SWAT raid on a home where US$150,000 in stolen goods were found. The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office says this is the first case they are prosecuting under Minnesota’s new organized retail theft law, according to a statement provided to CNN affiliate KARE . “We will do everything in our power to hold these defendants accountable and continue to work with our law enforcement partners and retail merchants to put a stop to retail theft in our community,” the county attorney’s office said.NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to top the all-time high it set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 123 points, or 0.3%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6% as Microsoft and Big Tech led the way. People are also reading... Stock markets abroad mostly fell after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China once he takes office. But the movements were mostly modest. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada’s main index edged down by less than 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. The consequences otherwise for markets and the global economy could be painful. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. And unlike tariffs in Trump’s first term, his latest proposal would affect products across the board. General Motors sank 9%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.3%. The value of the Mexican peso fell 1.8% against the U.S. dollar. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support for the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the economy, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed’s last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another mixed set of profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates imposed by the Fed to get inflation under control. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. Kohl’s tumbled 17% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.9% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. Still, more stocks rose in the S&P 500 than fell. J.M. Smucker had one of the biggest gains and climbed 5.7% after topping analysts’ expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 3.2% for Amazon and 2.2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 34.26 points to 6,021.63. The Dow gained 123.74 to 44,860.31, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 119.46 to 19,174.30. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.29% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It’s since dipped back toward $91,000, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors.
