Crime Stoppers said three women walked into the Dick’s Sporting Goods on South Cleveland Avenue in Fort Myers on Tuesday and stole 21 Stanley cups.
“There's a big market for these Stanley cups. It very well could be part of a ring that we see all the time coming from Tampa, coming from Miami, and just making their stops along the way to steal,” said Crime Stoppers Manager Trish Routte.
The two bags they loaded the Stanley cups into were Bogg bags, worth $90 each, bringing their total to $915 worth of stolen goods.
To make matters worse, Routte said the thieves had a child with them.
“It's really sad that anybody would bring a child into a store when they're getting ready to commit a crime or be part of a crime, even if they're not the ones that actually walked out of the store. You're with the group. You knew what everybody going in was planning on doing. So that's just, you know, that's just a whole new level of low,” said Routte.
Routte said the women made off in a blue Toyota.
