Shirt taken from Kohl's

A 16-year-old Waterford resident was arrested on charges of retail fraud on Oct. 15 after a loss prevention officer told police the teen had tried to take a shirt from Kohl's.

The report states that the teen entered a dressing room with a $50 shirt. The loss prevention officer then witnessed the teen leaving the room without the shirt, the report states.

Kline said the loss prevention officer told police the teen attempted to leave the store, and did not stop at a register to pay for the shirt she had concealed under her clothes.

The teen was detained until police arrived. When police arrived they arrested the teen, and released her to her parents. A juvenile petition will be filed with Oakland County probate court, Kline said.
