Two Iowa City individuals have been taken into custody after allegedly stealing thousands in merchandise from a Coral Ridge Mall store.
According to the criminal complaint, 27-year-old Xavier Miller and 21-year-old Tiandra Ball, both of Westgate Street, were involved in the thefts. Police say that the two were seen on three separate days earlier this month, selecting and concealing merchandise at Best Buy. The two were allegedly observed leaving the store beyond all points of sale without any attempt to purchase their selections.
Loss prevention estimated the value of all stolen merchandise at nearly $3800.
Warrants were issued for their arrest, and the two were taken into custody Sunday afternoon. Miller and Ball have been charged with 2nd degree Theft, a class D felony punishable by a prison term of up to five years each if convicted.
