Police charge two women with shoplifting from store in Berkshire Mall

Two women ignored a guard who told them to return to a security office about 3:16 p.m. Feb. 12 in the Berkshire Mall, in the 1600 block of State Hill Road in Wyomissing. They finally listened when borough police officers showed up. The pair were accused of stealing more than $500 worth of merchandise from the mall.

On March 1, police charged the two suspects -- a 30-year-old Pottstown woman and a 25-year-old Mohnton woman -- with retail theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy to commit retail theft. A hearing for the Pottstown woman is scheduled for later this month.
