[ ] Four women who pleaded guilty to stealing the Macy’s store at Willow Grove Park mall were put on probation and ordered them to stay out of all malls in Pennsylvania. (AP via Intelligencer)
From the story:
… Judge Steven O’Neill told the women they had “descended like a plague of locusts” on Montgomery County. Court records show that the four traveled around the country, stealing for a living, and have criminal records in at least ten states.
The four women — Jeannie Davis, Christina Robson, and two women named Catherine Robson — pleaded guilty to similar charges in Bucks County in January.
See, this whole time, Philly EDGE thought malls were the apocalyptic sign…huh.
Oh, would love to have seen the judge’s reaction when the women used the To Tell The Truth trick.
