Police said a woman and another person went on a shoplifting spree at a Sanford Super Walmart on Wednesday, stealing almost $100 in clothing and accessories.

Officers said 24-year-old Lindsey Bryan and her unidentified personal shopper had it all planned out. Police found a handwritten list in one of the women's purses titled Things needed from Walmart.

The list contained an itemized account of the seven shorts, seven swimsuits, five shirts, underwear, sandals, purse and wallet they snatched from the racks of the Walmart off Rinehart Road, police said.

Sanford investigators said one of the store's loss-prevention officers witnessed Bryan grab a pair of sandals from the rack and put them on her feet while placing her used flip-flops back on the rack.

She also took a purse and wallet from the store and slipped them into her own purse, police said. Moments later, another woman, who entered the store with Bryan, handed her a bag containing more stolen items.

Investigators said Bryan and the other woman separated. Bryan was later seen walking past all the cashiers without paying for the items on her way out of the store. The loss-prevention officer stopped Bryan and searched her belongings.

Police arrived and arrested Bryan on a charge of petty larceny. She had an outstanding warrant out of Seminole County for petty theft.
