Chicago Woman Stole Blouse and Girdle to Wear to Church: Cops

A Chicago woman caught shoplifting from the Macy’s in the Orland Square Mall explained that she planned to wear a stolen blouse and girdle to church, police said.

Sherry McGowan, 50, was still arrested for allegedly filching the $98 blouse and $62 girdle.

A Macy’s security guard reportedly stopped McGowan outside the store and detained her until the law arrived. Besides the stolen blouse and girdle, McGowan was in possession of a pair of pliers, tinfoil and garbage bags she planned to use to “facilitate the theft,” police said.

“Sherry was talked into committing the thefts by her cousin to make extra money,” police said. “Sherry intended on stealing purses but changed her mind. Instead she decided to steal a girdle and blouse to wear to church.”
