Two women face larceny charges after being arrested and accused of shoplifting in Braintree, the Patriot Ledger reported.
The women are accused of stealing more than $2,000 worth of clothing from four South Shore Plaza retailers, according to police.
Laura J. Lambert, 50, of South Boston and Tara P. Daniels, 23, of Braintree, face three counts of larceny of property valued at more than $250, one count of larceny of property valued at less than $250, and possession of Seroquel with intent to distribute. Seroquel is a Class E substance under Massachusetts drug laws. Both women will face the charges in Quincy District Court.
Braintree police allege the women fled with stolen merchandise from the American Eagle store. A plaza security officer spotted them leaving the parking garage in a black Honda Civic. The officer followed the car onto Common Street, where it was stopped by police.
A search of the Honda found stolen merchandise from Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, Hollister and Banana Republic, according to authorities. Value of the merchandise is reported as $2,150. Police also report finding 42 1/2 Seroquel prescription pills in a bottle listed in another person's name.
A Quincy criminal defense lawyer will likely challenge the probable cause for the traffic stop and the search of the vehicle under Massachusetts search and seizure law.
