A Connecticut couple has been charged with stealing $1 million worth of merchandise from Lululemon stores in at least five states.

The New York Times reports that 44-year-old Jadion Anthony Richards and 45-year-old Akwele Nickeisha Lawes-Richards of Danbury, Connecticut, have both been charged with one felony count of organized retail theft in connection with a series of crimes that began in September.

According to the Ramsey County District Attorney’s Office in Minnesota, the two were allegedly part of a retail theft. They were arrested at a Lululemon store in Woodbury, Minnesota, just a day after they stole 45 items worth nearly $5,000 from a Lululemon store in Roseville, Minnesota.

According to court documents, the couple, who began stealing from Minnesota stores in Minnetonka, Edina and Minneapolis, as well as other locations in New York, Utah, Colorado and Connecticut, owned more than $50,000 worth of Lululemon merchandise at the time her arrest at her hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota.

According to an investigator, the way her theft worked was that Richards would purchase one or two items at a store. The couple then removed a security tag from another item and then attached it to one of the items Richards had just purchased. Then they also put goods under their clothes.

When the alarm went off at the Lululemon location, Richards would show employees what he had just purchased. While this is happening, a third person who would be with them would leave with what they stole. The next step in the process would be to go to another store and exchange the clothing without a receipt.

After exchanging the clothing for new items, they ensured that the value they purchased slightly exceeded the value of the stolen item, so they had to pay the difference and then received a receipt for their (current) purchase. Afterwards, they went to another store and returned the items for a full refund.

According to court documents, Lululemon estimates that the company lost nearly $1 million as a result of these thefts.

Both Richards and Lawes-Richards face up to 15 years in prison and a $35,000 fine.
