Fairfax County police are searching for a woman suspected of impersonating a Target employee and stealing more than $40,000 worth of iPhones. On March 15, an unidentified woman impersonated a Target employee at the 6600 Richmond Highway location in Alexandria, Virginia, police said. She gained access to the stockroom and from there, police said she took the iPhones and put them in a box before leaving the store. Detectives said the woman is not affiliated with the store but appeared to know the store's procedures and location of the iPhones in the stockroom.
– She wasn't a Target employee, but a woman who sure seemed like one allegedly made off with around $40,000 worth of iPhones from a Virginia store. NBC Washington reports Fairfax County cops are looking for the retail impostor, who they say donned attire resembling a worker's getup, waltzed into the stockroom of the Alexandria location with a box, and loaded the box with dozens of iPhones before taking off. WTOP reports the woman, whose image was caught on tape, seemed to be familiar with how things worked at the store, including employee hours and where the iPhones were stored. Police say the theft occurred March 15, but posted about it on Facebook Monday with a call to "help us nab an iPhone thief." (Target recently had a Boston problem.)
