Police: Couple steals $63,000 in products from Ohio Bath & Body Works

Tamica Jones, 46, and her husband, Rahsaun Douglas, 43, were each indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday on one count each of organized theft of retail property, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, and grand theft.

According to the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office, Bath & Body Works stores across the region reported in February at least 20 instances of theft by a “masked duo.”

In April, a group of people stole items from the Bath & Body Works store at the Easton Market. A short time later, a law enforcement officer noticed a suspicious vehicle circling the parking lot of the Lennox Town Center, about 15 miles away. The officer ran the vehicle’s license plate and discovered the car was registered to Jones.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the thefts, and after reviewing surveillance footage and reports, the detective found 56 reports of theft from Bath & Body Works stores between October 2024 and May 2025 involving Jones, Douglas, and, in some instances, an accomplice.

The stolen items are valued at nearly $63,000.

Both Jones and Douglas were convicted in 2023 in Delaware County on theft and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity charges and sentenced to community control.

Jones was arrested in May for violating her community control and is being held in the Ohio Reformatory for Women.

Douglas remains at large after being taken to a hospital for a mental health complaint. He was also scheduled to be arrested in May but has not been located since leaving the hospital.

Jones was set to appear in court for her arraignment on Friday.

“Retail crime impacts us all, from local businesses and major corporations to consumers,” Franklin County Sheriff Dallas Baldwin said in a statement.
