An early start on Christmas shopping led to the arrests of three Monroe women in Minden on Tuesday.
Minden police responded to a security call from the Wal-Mart Super Center on Homer Road around 10 p.m. Tuesday. Security observed three women as they allegedly negotiated checks from two closed bank accounts.
Kymekha Shevette Butler, 26, of the 2000 block of Barrington St., Lashaundalyn Renee Whitlock, 18, and Quashaundra L. Whitlock, both of the 100 block of Cedar Crest in Monroe, were observed making large purchases at several registers. The security officer called Minden officers who quickly arrived in time to witness the shoppers putting the items into their vehicles.
Purchases made included Christmas items, toys, clothes and a computer.
According to Minden Police Chief T.C. Bloxom, the women have a lengthy history of this type of crime.
“What made matters worse was the fact that these women had four small children with them at the time of the thefts,” Bloxom said. “It was late and the children were tired. They then had to wait at the police station until their grandmothers came for them.”
Bloxom said the children’s ages ranged from two months to five years.
Bloxom said evidence was found in the suspects’ vehicle indicating that they had committed simular shopping sprees from Monroe to Minden.
The three suspects face charges of felony theft by fraud, conspiracy to commit theft by fraud and four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Roger Handon, 30, was stocking the shelves at the Wal-Mart on Raeford Road in Fayetteville at about 11 p.m. when he got in an argument with a man that ended in gunfire, authorities said.
Handon was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after midnight Wednesday.
Fey Handon learned early Wednesday that her son had been killed.
"His wife called me and said, 'I think Roger is dead. They said he was dead,'" Handon said. "It shocked me. I just started hollering. I didn't want to beleive it."
Cumberland County authorities arrested 27-year-old Johnathon Seymore, of Raeford, and charged him with first-degree murder after he allegedly confessed to the crime.
Investigators said the Handon and Seymore knew each other and the argument may have been domestic-related.
"The victim was shot over where his car was parked over by the employee parking," said Debbie Tanna, spokeswoman for the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office. "There was evidence that he tried to go back into the store but never made it."
Authorities said Seymore fired several shots, which were witnessed by nearly a dozen people and recorded by Wal-Mart's security cameras.
Seymore is being held without bond at the Cumberland County Detention Center.
al-Mart issued the following statement regarding Handon's death:
"We are saddened by the death of our associate. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in this time of grief. He was a valued associate, and well liked by all at the store."
Meanwhile, Fey Handon would like to know what prompted her son's slaying.
"I just don't know why that man shot my son," she said. "Why did you want to kill my sonW? Did you have that much death in you? I want to know why."
