Woman arrested twice in two weeks in connection with shoplifting at Myrtle Beach store

Police arrested the same woman in connection with shoplifting at the Myrtle Beach Wal-Mart two weeks in a row.

Selena Renee Reed was arrested and charged with shoplifting at Wal-Mart on Tuesday and Feb. 23, according to police reports.

Officers were called about 5 p.m. Tuesday to the Wal-Mart at 541 Seaboard St. where a 47-year-old woman reported Reed’s actions to police.

The woman, who is a store employee, noticed Reed select items and put them in her cart.

She told police she saw Reed select three key rings, valued at $12, and put them in her purse. Reed paid for the items in her cart, but did not pay for the key rings, and she was stopped by the store employee and taken to the loss prevention office.

Police arrived and Reed was arrested and taken to the Myrtle Beach Jail. She was charged with shoplifting enhancement due to her previous charges.

In Reed’s previous arrest on Feb. 23, police said they were called at 4 p.m. to Wal-Mart after Reed was seen removing items from a store shelf and she tried to walk out without paying.

She was stopped by a loss prevention officer and taken to the loss prevention office where police were called.

Reed revealed she had also taken a small bottle of olive oil in addition to a 16-piece plate set once she was escorted to the loss prevention office during the Feb. 23 incident, according to the report.

The total value of the items was reported to be just over $50, police said.
