Blotter: More than 120 bras stolen from lingerie store

More than 120 bras were reported stolen
from a lingerie store Saturday, leaving store management personnel scratching
their heads and wondering how someone could have slipped out of the store with
the merchandise unnoticed.

A store manager reported the theft on
Saturday, and an officer was dispatched to the store at about 3 p.m. in the
2200 block of S. Interstate 35E.

The manager told the officer at least
127 bras were taken from a bin located in the store. He also told the police
officer that none of the employees saw anyone take the merchandise or noticed
anything that appeared to be suspicious, the police report stated.

The store manager told the officer that
the theft happened between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Officers requested all of the store’s
recorded security camera footage, and the case was still under investigation.
