Suspect Behind Bars After Multi-State Shoplifting Spree

(WLOX) A multi-state shoplifting spree is coming to an end after several stores were targeted, including one in Mississippi. D’Iberville Police say the suspect took a quarter of a million dollars in merchandise.

$250,000 was swiped off the shelves in T-Mobile stores across the country.

A surveillance video from a T-Mobile store in Georgia shows who police identify as 25-year-old Damani Wright casing the aisles and dropping electronics in what appears to be a black bookbag.

D’Iberville Police say the suspect took a quarter of a million dollars in merchandise.

“He Took several cellphones, I-watches, tablets, and stuff like that and was gone in less than a minute,” said Hickman.

“This appears to be a professional shoplifter. He’s in and out of the store in two minutes,” said Police Chief Shannon Nobles.

Investigators started their search for Wright and on July 23rd, he was taken into custody by the Gwinnett County Police Department.

Wright was detained and now faces felony shoplifting charges in Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, and now Mississippi.
