2 Randolph Women Charged With Stealing Merchandise From Several Provincetown Stores

PROVINCETOWN (CBS) -- Two Randolph women have been charged with stealing more than $1,400 worth of merchandise from several businesses, Provincetown police say.

On Thursday, police were called by a shop owner who said five small canvas bags had been allegedly stolen from her gallery. She gave police a description of the suspects and alerted other store owners to be on the lookout for them.

Later that same day, another store owner saw the suspects as they entered a different shop downtown.

Officers spoke with them outside their hotel room, and later recovered $1,430 worth of merchandise taken from five additional businesses.
