The officer detained the drive and went inside the store to detain the second suspect. The officer obtained a warrant for the vehicle after observing multiple bottles of nail polish in the back seat. More than 400 bottles of polish had been stolen.

The suspect admitted to police that she had taken a large number of items from the Johns Creek store, and earlier in the day, the Roswell store.

The manager contacted the Roswell store to tell them Johns Creek Police had arrested the suspects, and also told them to call the Roswell Police Department.

The two women, a 52-year-old from Woodstock and a 43-year-old from Jasper, were charged with felony shoplifting counts.Β
