...TC An employee at a Solomons Island Road doll shop reported that a woman stole a limited-edition doll worth $500 to $700 Tuesday night while an accomplice distracted other workers, county police said.
Lynn Phillips, 44, who works at Poppets in the 2500 block of Solomons Island Road, told police a man and a woman entered the store about 7:30 p.m. and stayed 20 to 30 minutes.
The man made a layaway payment on a doll while the woman looked at dolls in the front of the store. The cashier became distracted while helping the man complete the sales ticket. The woman left, and the man followed two to three minutes later. Ms. Phillips noticed that the doll was missing soon after they left, police said.
The doll is a black and white Tenderness-Petite Pierrot clown doll, Ms. Phillips told police.
