Talk about despicable. Two women were arrested Monday night for, allegedly, using their children to steal merchandise from the local Wal-Mart.
According to a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department official, the women, Anguiano-Degonza, 26, and Juana Marin, 22, changed barcodes of several items as they attempted to steal more than a dozen others.
Store employees noticed the woman acting suspiciously as one of the women dressed her toddler in an un-purchased jacket and attempted to leave the store. According a spokesperson for the Victorville Sheriff's Department, Karen Hunt, the other woman was seen sticking a sweater into her child's car seat, beneath the baby.
Previously the women were seen attempting to check out of the same Victorville Wall-Mart with items tagged with the incorrect barcodes. At that time store loss-prevention officers had no proof that the women had actually switched the barcodes.
Along with their arrest for commercial burglary, the women were also charged with child endangerment. Both women were booked into Victor Valley Jail, while their children were released into the custody of their fathers.
