FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA -- Fairfax County Police on Wednesday posted photos of some of the loot recovered from a theft ring police say was operating at Tysons Corner Center shopping center.

The array of items included purses and clothing.

On Friday, March 25, at approximately 8:30 p.m., the police department’s Tyson’s Urban Team (TUT) was notified by store security at Lord & Taylor of suspicious activity, police said. Store security informed TUT that a male and two female suspects involved in a retail theft ring were currently in their store.

The suspects exited the store and attempted to flee in a vehicle, but were detained in the parking lot, according to police. TUT officers located stolen merchandise along with tools geared to defeat the store security systems, police said.

Police say the team was captured "due to the excellent teamwork between the store security teams at Tyson’s Corner Center and the TUT" and that more than $76,000 worth of property was seized from the retail theft ring.

The three suspects in the theft ring are:

• Oleg Lazanovitch, 39, of Florida, was charged with grand larceny, possession of stolen property with intent to sell, and possession of a burglarious tool.
• Iryna Karp, 28, of Florida, was charged with grand larceny, possession of stolen property with intent to sell, and possession of a burglarious tool.
• Kateryna Nosul, 20, of Florida, was charged with providing false identity to law enforcement.
