Identities Needed for Theft Suspects

April 10 update: Both of the suspects have been identified. Thank you. 

The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office is seeking the identities of the two women pictured in a theft investigation. On Friday, March 31, 2023, at 10:53 am, the two subjects entered the Hobby Lobby store in California. The two walked around the store and gathered merchandise into their carts and into bags that they took from the shelves. 

When confronted as they were trying to leave the store, the two women abandoned the carts with some stolen items inside and fled with stolen items that they were physically carrying, including a hat, bags and the contents inside of the bags. 

Anyone with information about the identities of the subjects or this incident is asked to contact Deputy Anthony Cucinotta at 301-475-4200, ext. 78174 or email anthony.cucinotta@stmaryscountymd.gov. Case # 17613-23
