Mums, daughters accused of stealing designer clothes


(check out the cop laughing)
TWO mums and their daughters have been charged with stealing $120,000 worth of designer clothing, jewellery and make-up from Perth department stores.

The two girls, aged 14 and 16, were allegedly apprehended for stealing from David Jones in Perth on Wednesday.

Police tracked their mothers to a nearby coffee shop and later located a car, where officers allegedly found the back seat and boot of the vehicle laden with expensive garments.

It will be alleged that police discovered about 450 items of clothes, estimated to be worth up to $120,000 and stolen over a two-year period, after raiding two houses in Marangaroo and Clarkson this week.

In what police today described as an ``Aladdin's cave'', officers uncovered designer clothing, including a $1600 dress hanging in one of the women's wardrobes. The clothing was allegedly stolen from city department stores and boutiques.

Police will allege that the girls went into each store with a handbag and stashed the stolen items in the bag's inner lining.

It is understood that electronic security tags attached to some of the garments were cut off using pliers in an effort to avoid detection.

Detectives said they believed the clothing , allegedly stolen from David Jones, Myer and smaller boutiques in Perth, Karrinyup, Mandurah and Clarkson, was being stolen for personal use, but will also investigate if the thefts were part of a wider, organised racket.

Acting Sergeant Ian Lyon said police had not seen anything on this scale before.

``It was like an Aladdin's cave. There was just clothing everywhere and it was all new and it all had damage marks from the security tags where they had been taken off,'' he said.

``Some of the items have been damaged. On Wednesday some of the items were still left in the store. The security ink had gone over the items so they left them in the store.

``It appears quite organised.''

A 41-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter, both of Clarkson, will be summonsed to appear in court on stealing and receiving offences.

A 38-year-old Marangaroo woman and her 14 year old daughter will also be summonsed for similar offences.

The two women are sisters.
