Five women and a man dressed as a woman stole $4,500 in bras and panties from a Victoria's Secret store in Port Richey, Fla. according to the sheriff's office.
WTVT reports that investigators say, “they are seeing a trend.”
Deputies say it's not the first time this group has struck.
Detectives say the group is organized, pulling off the same scheme in several counties.
Authorities say calling it 'shop lifting’ doesn't do it justice. They call it an organized crime ring.
“We are seeing a trend," said Detective Eric Pfenninger. "Based on it being organized, a lot of the times these subjects will sell the material online."
This group is believed to have targeted at least three other stores across the Bay Area in the last month.
