Philadelphia, PA -- A police officer had two girls shoplift for her and then lied about her name and occupation when the group was apprehended, prosecutors charged.
Renell Cohen, 35, picked out bras that were later stolen by the girls when they left a Wal-Mart at the Franklin Mills Mall, authorities said.
Security cameras were trained on the group during the July store visit after an assistant manager thought Cohen was acting suspiciously.
Cohen, a four year veteran of the police department, was fired Tuesday, the same day theft, corruption of minors and other charges were upheld against her at a preliminary hearing in Family Court.
The girls told authorities they were between 14 and 16.
"The facts of this case are really troubling," Assistant District Attorney Janet Turnbull said.
The girls stole merchandise worth $259.52, while Cohn went on to purchase goods worth about $87.
