The Newport News charges stem from shoplifting/larceny incidents from Macy’s Department Store at 12300 Jefferson Avenue (5 cases), Dillard’s Department Store at 12300 Jefferson Avenue (4 cases) and Radio Shack at 14331 Warwick Boulevard (2 cases). These incidents occurred between September 18 and November 19.
In addition to Lyttle, Hampton Police say they also arrested Kendell Wingfield in connection with a series of burglary and larceny crimes that happened between November 8 and November 21.
On November 15, Lyttle, Wingfield, and a third suspect broke into the Jewels and Gems jewelry store on McMenamin Street, around 4 a.m.
The owner, who asked News 3 to protect his identity, says both Lyttle and Wingfield have come in before as customers.
"They exactly know what is rare and what isn't rare," he says. "They got away with some pretty good stuff."
Just down the street, on November 21, police say the Nexus clothing store was hit between 2:26 a.m. and 2:45 a.m.
A store manager says two rocks were thrown through their front door to get inside.
"The jeans in here can go up to $400 and they got a lot of high-priced items, they made out great right before Christmas," says Robert Perez. "That's taking away from the owner's family."
Lyttle was placed in the custody of the Newport News City Jail. The investigation remains ongoing and additional charges are pending.
