Detectives also recovered merchandise from a Dick’s Sporting Goods outside of the township. Stolen merchandise recovered from the stores totaled over $3,200. 

The women were arraigned Oct. 25 in 48th District Court. Ramey, Winters, Hoskins and Nelson were charged with first-degree retail fraud; Ramey and Winters were charged with third-degree retail fraud; and Ramey was charged with driving while license suspended.
