Clothing theft
Note: don't put pictures of stolen merchandise on Facebook.com. Better yet, don't steal.
On Monday, police went to the South Moon Under store at Harbour Center in Annapolis after a manager there said they saw photos on Facebook of an employee wearing clothes from the store. However, the manager could not remember the employee, a minor, ever purchasing the clothes, even after checking sales receipts, police reports said.
The manager confronted the employee and said the worker confessed to stealing the clothes seen in the pictures. The manager then fired her. Police are looking for the girl to charge her with theft, police reports said.
In all, $1,357 worth of tube tops, shorts, pants, dresses, other clothes and a necklace were stolen, police reports said.

Another county employee had gone to the scene of the accident to collect the sign that had a solar panel, battery and regulator and discovered them gone.
The electronics are worth $1,000 combined.

Credit card scheme
Police arrested three people Thursday at Marley Station mall they said were involved in an interstate identity-theft scheme.
The suspects used the Internet to steal people's identities and create credit accounts then use the fake accounts to make purchases. The items they bought were then resold online, police said.
Police said they knew the suspects were at the mall when they received a call from the Boscov's department store about a credit card fraud in progress, said Sgt. John Gilmer, a county Police Department spokesman.
Valdaze McDaniel and Charles Ingram, both of Overland Park, Kan. and Bryan Gatlin, from Roswell, Ga., were charged with multiple counts of theft and fraud, police said.
