Men Dressed As Women Steal Lingerie From South Hill Victoria's Secret
Four thieves - two believed to be dressed up as women - stole about $1,000 in lingerie, police say.

PUYALLUP, WA - Four people carried out a major lingerie heist at the South Hill Mall on Thursday. The suspects were initially identified as four women, but police believe that at least two of the suspects were men dressed up as women.
According to police, the four suspects entered the Victoria's Secret at the South Hill Mall just before 1 p.m. Thursday. Two distracted an employee while the other two stuffed Macy's bags with approximately $1,000 in merchandise.
The four made it out of the store undetected, but a loss prevention worker from Macy's had his eye out for the suspects because he had seen them grab the Macy's bags from his store earlier in the day. The loss prevention officer confronted the four suspects outside the mall, but they ran away from him.
