Four women were arrested for their involvement in a Walmart grand theft scheme , according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.
Zikerria Z. Bellamy, 19, Darriale S. Vaughn, 20, Theresa D. Cineus, 37, and 23-year-old Lusina T. Cineus were arrested and charged with grand retail theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor after an investigation by the Sheriff's Office.
The investigation began on February 15 when deputies responded to the Walmart located on Cypress Parkway in Poinciana.
Upon arrival deputies spoke with security who said five females and a 3-year-old child entered the store and returned approximately $600 of merchandise in exchange for Walmart gift cards. The females purchased Visa gift cards and products with the Walmart cards and proceeded to steal groceries, toys and electronics totaling more than $1,400 dollars.
Deputies said Walmart security confronted the females in the parking lot, but they fled the area in a white, Dodge mini-van.
Deputies said they found the van on Pleasant Hill Road and conducted a traffic stop. They recovered the stolen gift cards and property and located receipts for Walmart stores in Orange County.
Deputies said they contacted the Orange County Sheriff's Office who indicated they have had similar crimes committed in their area with suspects matching the description of the five female suspects.
They were booked into the Osceola County Jail. Charges are pending for the fifth suspect. The investigation is on-going with additional charges pending.
