Two Fairfield residents were arrested Monday for allegedly attempting to steal a combined $350 worth of earrings from Kohl's Department Store, police said.

Christina Anastasio, 18, of Lalley Boulevard, and 17-year-old girl were both charged with sixth-degree larceny after Kohl's loss prevention employees said the girls tried to leave the store with eight pairs of earrings they did not pay for, according to the report.

Kohl's employees told police that the suspects took some clothes and the earrings into a dressing room and removed the tags from the jewelry. Some of the tags were found on the floor in the dressing room; the others in a clothes bin.

Both Anastasio and the juvenile were released at the scene and the juvenile was turned over to her mother, who was with the girls at Kohl's at the time of the attempted shoplifting, police said.

Anastasio is due in court on April 2; the youth on April 1.

This is the 36th shoplifting call police have responded to at Kohl's this year.
