ST. GEORGE — Following a string of reported thefts in Washington County on Monday, a man and woman were arrested and suspected to be part of an international criminal group.
Monday night officers responded to a big-box retailer on North 3050 East in St. George on a report of a stolen wallet.
According to charging documents filed with the court, the reporting party said her wallet had been taken out of her cart while she was shopping. She then received a notification from the bank advising that her credit card had been used to charge more than $1,750 in merchandise from a retailer in Washington City.
While patrol units were being dispatched to the store in Washington City, another call came into emergency dispatch, reporting a theft in progress at a third retailer.
