Loss prevention personnel reported observing a female suspect engaging in multiple forms of retail theft, including skip-scanning, tag swapping, and concealing merchandise on her person.

During the investigation, officers identified that the jacket worn by the suspect had been fraudulently scanned using a swapped tag. As the suspect removed the jacket, she attempted to conceal an item in her hand. Officers recovered two zip-lock bags containing suspected narcotics
