Blaine police say a total of 10 people have now been formally charged with felony theft stemming from an incident last November that affected multiple stores in the Twin Cities metro area.

More people have been charged in connection with what authorities say was a series of coordinated retail thefts in the Twin Cities on Black Friday.

The thefts "by an organized group shocked those who witnessed it first-hand as well as the retail community and law-abiding shoppers," said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi.

Police have made arrests in a robbery that took place at a Best Buy store in Maplewood, Minnesota.

Six people are now facing charges in a mass theft at Best Buy in Maplewood, Minnesota in November.

One woman bragged about organized retail thefts online, according to the court documents, and was on Facebook Live showing off TVs, laptops, hoverboards and more.

A coordinated crime spree that hit several Twin Cities Best Buy stores on Black Friday netted the thieves more than $26,000 worth of merchandise. Now, six people face criminal charges in connection with the mass thefts on Nov. 26 at the Maplewood, Blaine and Burnsville Best Buy locations.

The Ramsey County Attorney's Office has charged six people in connection to mass thefts at three metro-area Best Buy stores during Thanksgiving weekend 2021.
