45-year old Amy Marie Russey is in the Martin County jail after being charged with grand theft Tuesday.

In the first case, Russey and one male accomplice reportedly practiced "tag team tactics" at the store, according to a post on the Martin County Sheriff's Facebook page. "The pair were reportedly acting odd," according to the Sheriff's office. "Witnesses saw the male moving about the store and placing various pieces of merchandise in odd places," then "Russey started putting that merchandise in her bag."

MC Sheriff Deputies and Stuart Police were called in and arrested Russey after finding stolen merchandise in her backpack. One of her male accomplices fled. Its not clear what happened to the other man.
