Mentor Police Arrest 3 Suspected of Fraudulent Returns to Lowe's

A man and two women were arrested by Mentor Police on Thursday for allegedly attempting to return stolen property to a Lowe’s store.

Keria Harris, Sheila Blair and Devonte Wilkins — all of Cleveland — allegedly stole merchandise from other Northern Ohio stores, then tried to return it to the store on 9600 Mentor Avenue, The News Herald reported. The three had already made a large return to the store earlier that week according to store associates, who provided police with physical and vehicle descriptions.

The suspects were spotted by police in the store parking lot and attempted to flee, but were later stopped and found with almost $2,300 worth of stolen Lowe’s merchandise in their car, as reported by The News Herald. The matter is still under investigation by police.

Patch placed calls to the Mentor Police Department that were not immediately returned.
