Three Maryland men allegedly involved in stealing over $100,000 worth of items throughout multiple jurisdictions attempted to continue their thieving ring in Stafford County only to be stopped after they left the parking lot.

On April 18th at approximately 11:45 a.m. deputies responded to Target, located at 1090 Stafford Market Place, for a larceny in progress. Staff advised a group of males, who they had seen stealing before, were currently concealing skin care items into a large bin. As deputies arrived, the suspects fled out a fire exit with the stolen items.

Due to law enforcement agencies having stronger communication skills than a teenage couple, deputies were already well aware of this group. It was reported they were involved in an organized retail theft ring that involved numerous Target stores stretching all the way to Maryland. It was also reported these three musketeers traveled in a black Nissan Rogue with a Maryland license plate. With this information, it did not take Deputy J.E. Alford long to locate the Nissan with all three suspects inside at the traffic light for Stafford Market Place and Garrisonville Road. A high-risk stop was conducted and all three were taken into custody without incident. Not surprisingly, stolen Target items were located within the vehicle.

The suspects were identified as Wilbur Sibert, 58, of Hyattsville Maryland, Delbert Henry, 47, of Frederick Maryland, and Canbrin Smith, 31, of Upper Marlboro Maryland. Sibert and Henry were discovered to be wanted out of Maryland. All three were charged with four counts of grand larceny, two counts of possession of stolen goods with intent to sell, and conspiracy to commit retail theft greater than $5,000 within 90 days. All three were held at Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond. The investigation is still ongoing.

Amazing work to the quick acting deputies to prevent further retail larcenies in not only Stafford, but the DMV area.
