COLLEGE STATION, Texas — A College Station woman is facing new theft charges after being accused of stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise from a local department store.
Skylett Duffie, 20, formerly of Navasota, is charged with theft of property of over $2,500 but less than $30,000. Duffie is accused of stealing the merchandise from Dillard's, located in the Post Oak Mall.

The theft at Dillard's happened November 19, just before 1 p.m. Investigators said Duffie was seen on video going to the men's department and took several items of clothing off the racks and walked out of the store without paying for them.
Loss prevention officers said Duffie stole $3,369.39 in Polo track suits. Duffie allegedly told investigators her accomplice had told her what items to steal. That accomplice has not yet been charged in connection to this case.
