The suspected ringleader and two others who police believe were part of a crew responsible for over 2 dozen retail thefts across the city in which they stole diapers, batteries and coffee have been arrested.
Authorities in Philadelphia arrested three people who they say were linked to more than two dozen retail thefts around the city. Inspector Ray Evers told reporters Friday that members of the "Diaper Crew" targeted Family Dollar, Dollar General and Rite Aid stores around the city. Investigators say the suspects are accused of sneaking large bags into the stores and using them to take diapers, batteries and coffee.
MORE HEADLINESAuthorities credited an app that connects police with retail store owners around the city for helping authorities hone in on the suspects. Evers said police put information on the app about the pattern of robberies and heard from other stores that had been hit "within hours."Police acted on that information and on July 14 arrested three group members during an attempted robbery at Dollar General in Juniata Park.
