FAYETTEVILLE — Two Robeson County women have surrendered to law enforcement after surveillance video of them allegedly stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise was released to the public.
“I’d encourage everyone to turn themselves in,” Detective J. Casady, of the Fayetteville Police Department, said Tuesday. “You know if you were involved. You should turn yourself in.”
Twanda Elaine Faulk, 26, of the 2200 block of Musselwhite Circle in Lumberton, and Raven Alexis Ingram, 24, of the 200 block of West 17th Street in Lumberton, each has been charged with organized retail theft, felony possession of stolen goods, and felony conspiracy, Casady said.
Lequilla Lashanda McNeill, 41, of the 400 block of Mc Iver Street in Fayetteville, also has turned herself into police and was charged with felony larceny, felony possession of stolen goods, and felony conspiracy.
Earlier this week, the surveillance system at Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville recorded seven women leaving the mall with bags of goods for which they had not paid. Social media was instrumental in identifying the women.
“I am not sure if it (social media) pressured those in custody to turn themselves in,” Casady said.
Detectives with the Fayetteville Police Department’s Property Crimes Unit still are looking for four of the women, two of whom are from Robeson County, in connection to the “theft ring,” Casady said.
They are Jasmine Latasha McRae, 30, of the 200 block of Trinity Street in Fairmont; Rosheka Lenice Woolridge, 20, of the 400 block of Sinclair Street in Lumberton; Shekia Bianca McNeill, 27, of the 4400 block of Garnett Drive in Fayetteville; and Lena Genelda McNatt, 40, of the 500 block of Grafton Avenue in Fayetteville.
