Estero store clerks say duo took designer duds, possibly as repeat thieves

Two people snatched designer clothing and then walked out of an outlet store in Estero, authorities said.

Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help to identify the two women, though one might have been a man in disguise.

The pair walked into the Ralph Lauren Polo store at Miromar Outlets shortly after 5 p.m. June 11, detectives said.

Six minutes later, they left the store with large tote bags. As they walked out, the security alarm was triggered, prompting both individuals to walk away quickly before anyone could catch up with them. 

When managers reviewed the store’s surveillance video, the pair were seen putting clothing from the store into their bags. Several employees said they recognized the pair from prior thefts at the store. 

Anyone with information about the two unidentified suspects is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477). All callers can remain anonymous and will be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000. Tips also may be made online at www.southwestfloridacrimestoppers.com or by submitting a tip on the P3Tips mobile app.
