On March 5 at 5:18 p.m., the owner of Neon Elephant in The Shops at Highland Village reported three women, wearing long dresses and hijab-style face coverings, walked into the store, quickly grabbed multiple items and rolled them into their dresses before leaving the store without paying for any of the items, valued over $2,800.

Another officer happened to be on that side street and stopped the vehicle. The driver was arrested for racing and fleeing a police officer.
