Shoplifting in loose clothing

Three women, together with a male accomplice, were arrested for shoplifting in Xinmi city last week. Wearing loose clothing designed for pregnant women, the suspects entered supermarkets and hid goods under their clothing. They then went to their car parked outside to unload the heist. They were caught unloading more than 150 boxes of gum and two cans of milk powder by passers-by, who contacted the police. The four later confessed to shoplifting.
