MONDAY, JAN. 31

Perfume Piracy

Islam Gashi, 38, and Emine Gashi, 33, both of the 6900 block of 110th Street in Worth, were charged with retail theft.

Police said Islam Gashi took a $30 bottle of perfume off a shelf and handed it to Emine Gashi, who then hid the bottle in a stroller before leaving a department store in Orland Square Mall in the evening. Two small children were in the company of the couple at the time, according to the police report. 

Diaper Deprivation

Three Chicagoans have been accused of stealing clothing, lotion, toys and diapers from a children’s toy store just outside Orland Square Mall.

Police said they received a call around 8:30 p.m. about a group of people who just ran out of the store and loaded a cart full of items in a car. That same car was stopped minutes later near 131st Street and LaGrange Road, according to the report.

The driver, Kanesha R. Trisby, 20, of the 5900 block of Calumet Avenue, was charged with theft, no valid driver’s license and operating an uninsured motor vehicle.

Passengers Charles Ambrose, 22, of the 7800 block of South Shore Drive, and Kimberly Jones, 23, of the 5600 block of Paulina Street, were charged with theft.
