Frankfort Woman Wore 3 Stolen Bras and Earrings Out of Tinley Park Kohl's: Cops
The woman also had "intimate underwear" stuffed in her shirt and more jewelry in her purse, police said.

A Frankfort woman’s bid to slip out of the Tinley Park Kohl’s while wearing three stolen bras and a pair of earrings failed when she was stopped by a store worker, police said.
Michele Sweders, 40, also had “intimate underwear” stuffed in her shirt and jewelry hidden in her purse, police said. She allegedly stole a White Sox cap as well but the cops didn’t say where she stashed it or if she was wearing that too.
After the employee caught her, Sweders agreed to accompany her to a store office until the cops got there, police said. When they did, she reportedly asked them to have her mother come to the store to pick up her children. An officer then “observed a black and white clothing item hanging out from under Michele’s shirt,” police said. “Michele pulled this item out and it was underwear that matched one of the bras that was stolen.”
