Fashionable thieves!
An Upstate prom and bridal shop continues to get hit by young women, stealing prom dresses of store racks. But now, police are hoping you can identify the latest alleged thief.
She, and the others she was with, were caught on tape.
A group of young women and an older woman are seen walking into the Castle Prom And Bridal in Spartanburg this past week.
After browsing, part of the group leaves, while one of the young ladies finds a dress she likes.
She takes it of the hanger, and stuffs it in her purse. She quickly walks out, the other women in tow.
This is the ninth dress to be stolen in the past two years at the store. Eight dresses were stolen last season.
Owner Robyn Peeler says, "It makes me angry." The dress stolen was worth $410. It was a short dress, which is the style this year.
If you recognize the young woman who is shown putting the dress in her purse you are asked to call CrimeStoppers at 58-crime.
