Henderson police arrested three women this week in connection with the theft of $10,000 worth of merchandise from a Victoria’s Secret store.

Taja Banks, 24, Kendra Cole-Matthews, 23, and Deondra McGregory, 22, were booked into the Henderson Detention Center on suspicion of participating in a retail theft ring, public information officer Michelle French said.

Banks faces seven counts of burglary and seven counts of participating in a retail theft ring; Cole-Matthews faces three counts of burglary, three counts of grand larceny less than $3,500 and a petit larceny; and McGregory faces two counts of burglary, one count of grand larceny less than $3,500 and one petit larceny, French said.
