DAVIDSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — A woman has been charged after a year-long shoplifting spree where she reportedly stole thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from stores like Lululemon, Nike and Sephora.

Jernithia Bell, 24, was arrested Tuesday, accused of carrying out multiple thefts in 2024. She now faces over a dozen charges.

According to court documents dating back to January, Bell entered stores at Opry Mills Mall, Tanger Outlets Nashville, the Mall at Green Hills and others to shoplift merchandise adding up to a total of over $8,500.

Bell and other suspects were captured on surveillance cameras entering stores like Ralph Lauren, selecting merchandise, and hiding it away in bags before exiting the stores without paying. Documents state that on two occasions, Bell, along with other suspects, targeted multiple stores in one day.

In July, after Bell and another suspect reportedly stole $2,600 in Lululemon merchandise from the Mall at Green Hills, a police investigation found Bell was reportedly selling the stolen items on her Instagram story.

News 2 previously reported that Bell was arrested for stealing from high-end stores at the Mall at Green Hills in 2023.

Bell is detained in Metro jail facing eight charges of merchandise theft under $1,000, six charges for failure to appear and one charge of organized retail theft over $2,500. Her bond is set at $117,500.
