Temecula police said the theft ring was allegedly hitting high-end stores, such as Victoria's Secret, Express, Banana Republic and Abercrombie and Fitch,

OH...THESE ARE HIGH END NOW? NOT. These stores are low-end that carry cheaply made chinese items that are overpriced.

I think all suspects should be charged to the fullest extent of the law. These reckless and irresponsible so-called adults should be made an example of. It is my belief that this should not be taken so lightly and with a some years behind bars, they might turn their lives for the better. People like this should not get away with a slap on the wrist.

I'm glad they caught them and I hope they get MANY years in prison. I work retail, and when we do inventory and it is a bad one, the employees are put under scrutiny and a harsh third degree of questions to prove they are not guilty when it is dishonest, lazy people like this that like to try to take the easy way out to make money. Consumers and retailers are the ones that lose in the end. I hope they don't let them off easy.

Well when a retail store charges a 300% or more markup on cheaply made products from foreign countries, what do you expect.

BUY AMERICAN< PUT AMERICA FIRST.

BOYCOTT FOREIGN MADE PRODUCTS and DEMAND AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS>

I also work in retail and we were trained to look out for people like that, so apparently the store workers were not doing there job. According to the report they were doing this for more than a year, mall security and the cops are a joke. Jim from NJ and Jim from OH you are right "THESE ARE HIGH END STORES!" Please like I said I work retail and yes you are right they do mark up about 450%, besides none of us have the right to judge anyone only God has the right.We don't know these people and there lives, and we all know you can not go by the media. So all you self rightous people look at yourselfs before you judge anyone else!!

CONSIDERING I KNOW 3 OF THEM, YES WHAT THEY DID WAS WRONG BUT JUSTIN WAS NEVER CAUGHT ON CAMERA AND HAD NO STOLEN ITEMS ON HIM HE SHOULD JUST BE CHARGE WITH ACCESSORY AND NOT BE CHARGED WITH 10 COUNTS, IT WAS HIS FIRST DAY HOME FROM WASHINGTON AND JUST CAUGHT UP WITH THE WRONG CROWD.

not all of them deserve prison!!! rene and maria are my friend's parents and they had no clue what ben and his partners were doing. ben defenatey didnt deserve a slap on the wrist. he put my friend, her brother, her sister, her aunt, and parents threw hell on the night the police came to her house. and he just didnt care!!! i think ben should have 60 to life. my friend's father paid for all the clothes with his own hard working money. and the police just took it all away. because of that stupid ben!!! i hope ben burns and rots in hell!!!
