This AirPod theft scam spanned Walmart and Target locations in 21 states. Now the retail chains are banding together

Two women just got sentenced to 10 years in prison after running a multi-state theft ring that hit Walmart and Target stores across the country. 

Altogether, they stole $141,000 worth of merchandise through a multi-state scheme that kept them under the radar from 2022 until their arrest in 2024, prosecutors said. 

Both women pleaded guilty to three counts of violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
