STILLWATER, Minn. (AP) - Stillwater police have arrested three women and two girls after an alleged Black Friday shoplifting spree at a Target store.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports more than $2,200 worth of items were stolen.

Police arrested the women and girls about 9:40 p.m. Friday as they headed west on Minnesota Highway 36 in a van. Police say the suspects were thought to be with a group of people who apparently walked out of the store with carts of stolen merchandise.

According to police reports, the women and girls also are believed to have stolen a number of items, including a desktop computer, from a Walmart in Oak Park Heights.
