Shoplifting Sisters Arrested

Two sisters face numerous charges after they allegedly shoplifted several items at a central New Jersey mall by stashing the merchandise in bags placed under a toddler's stroller.
 
Freehold Township police tell the Asbury Park Press that 23-year-old Shamecca Whitfield and her 20-year-old sister, Shamera Whitfield, both of Brick Township, were arrested Friday in Eatontown on unrelated charges. Bail for each sister was set at $180,100, and it wasn't known Saturday if either woman had retained an attorney.
 
Police say the sisters fled from a Freehold Raceway Mall store around 4 p.m. Thursday and crashed their vehicle into two other parked vehicles as they drove off.
 
No injuries were reported.
 
The two face numerous charges, including shoplifting more than $500 worth of merchandise, robbery, criminal mischief and child endangerment.
