Waco police made 13 arrests and cited six other suspects over the past two weeks at the Central Texas marketplace and two stores that aren't in the center as part of an operation cracking down on retail theft.

Six others were listed as suspects in theft cases, Officer Garen Bynum said in a Facebook post Monday.

Thefts occurred at 11 stores in the shopping center including Old Navy, The Children’s Place, Carters, Kohl’s, Victoria’s Secret, Bed Bath & Beyond, Rack Room, Cavender’s Boot City, and Academy Sports and Outdoors, as well as at two stores that aren’t in the center, Walmart and Home Depot.

“Over $5,000 in stolen merchandise, most being children clothing, was recovered and returned to the stores that they came from. All of the suspects were found in possession of property from multiple stores at time of arrest,” Bynum said.
