Family of 3 Arrested, Charged in Connection with Tri-State Retail Theft Ring

MEDIA–The arrested three family members from Drexel Hill in connection with an organized retail theft ring at Kohl's Department stores in the tri-state area. 

Ismet Fetic, 52, Snezana Fetic, 49, and Emina Fetic, 29, were arrested on Aug. 23 and charges were filed in District Court 32-2-48 for counts of dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities, organized retail theft, retail theft, receiving stolen property and criminal use of a communication facility, according to State Police. 

An investigation began in April after information showed that the mother, father and daughter were stealing high end Kitchen Aid mixers, Dyson vacuums and other products from Kohl's stores throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, according to State Police. 

The Fetics would select a high priced item and place the price tag from a lower priced item on the box, often while hiding the lower priced item in the bottom of their shopping cart, according to State Police.

After paying for the item with the switched price tag and greatly reduced price, they would then list the item for sale on eBay below Kohl's original price, according to State Police. 

It's estimated that Kohl's retail loss exceeds $25,000, according to State Police. 

The Fetics have been identified as stealing from Pennsylvania Kohl's stores in Delaware, Lancaster, Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Lebanon and York counties along with several locations in New Jersey and Delaware, according to State Police. 

Bail was set for each person at 10 percent of $250,000 and they each were subsequently committed to Delaware County Prison awaiting a preliminary hearing.
