An assets protection manager for Target, 4050 N. Harlem Ave., told police on Sept. 5 that a FedEx driver had been asked by Quinones, a Target shipping/receiving employee, to take an unmarked package from the building for her.

She allegedly told the driver she’d pick it up later.

The Target manager learned that Quinones and Miranda, a Target sales associate, had been taking merchandise from the sales floor, along with deliveries, donations and returns, and organizing the merchandise in the store’s receiving area.

The manger discovered a box containing 70 DVD movies valued at $1,047 was staged in the receiving area.

Police said Miranda picked that box up on Sept. 11 from Quinones, placed it in her personal vehicle and left the store area.

According to police reports, Quinones had staged five Apple iPODs and two boxes of Softline products valued at $1,099.95 on Sept. 18, which were picked up from Quinones by Miranda on Sept. 25.

Police said the Target manager followed Miranda to her home, where she gave the merchandise to an unidentified man.

On Oct. 25, Quinones allegedly selected 60 DVD movies and staged them with paper goods, diapers and bottled water, all valued at $1,586.83, on a flatbed cart.

Police said, a second unidentified man — driving an office products truck — picked the items up on Oct. 29.

The two women were interviewed by Target personnel on Nov. 4. Then they were transported for processing to the Norridge Police Department, where they both signed statements admitting to the thefts.

At a Nov. 5 hearing in Rolling Meadows, bond for each was set at $10,000. They are scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. Dec. 3 in Room 108 of the Rolling Meadows Court House.

• Alana Lozoya, 22, of 4822 W. Dakin St., Chicago, was arrested Nov. 7 at The Children’s Place, 4156 N. Harlem Ave., and charged with felony retail theft.

Police said Lozoya, a store employee, processed 14 receipts between Aug. 14 and Nov. 3 for refunds, although no merchandise was returned, causing a loss to the store of $790.96.

At a Nov. 8 hearing in Rolling Meadows, bond for Lozoya was set at $3,000. She is scheduled to appear at 10:30 a.m. Dec. 8 in Room 108 of the Rolling Meadows Court House.

• Diana Siddique, 30, and Sharall Flores, 20, both of 7109 W. Foster Ave., in Chicago, were arrested Nov. 8 at Kmart, 4201 N. Harlem Ave., and charged with retail theft. Store security agents told police they saw the two women conceal merchandise in their bags and in a baby stroller and leave the store without paying. They were escorted to the store’s loss-prevention office, where items valued at $85.40 were recovered from Siddique and items valued at $85.45 were recovered from Flores. Bond for each was set at $1,000. They are slated for Dec. 8 court appearances.

CREDIT CARD FRAUD
• Champaine Presley, 20, of 520 N. Leamington Ave., Chicago, was arrested Nov. 6 at Footlocker, 4136 N. Harlem Ave., and charged with receiving goods in violation of the Credit/Debit Card Act.
