Five Negroes Held on Shoplifting and Federal Charge
Five black suspects, three women and two men, arrested last week in Hagerstown face additional federal charges of transporting stolen goods. A mail package to Cleveland contained nine suits and various ladies' apparel with price notes. Some outfits matched items from local stores Moskin's Clothing, Rudisill's, and Leiters. All five remain jailed as investigators pursue the case. Police say the group operates as a professional shoplifting gang with Cleveland as headquarters. The Cleveland addresses provided by the suspects were reported fictitious.
