They quickly grabbed the clothing, which was valued at $22,000, before running out of the store and into a Toyota Corolla, which sped off, according to the VPD.
"Thanks to a quick-thinking employee who called 9-1-1, the VPD used the information to track down and arrest the suspects," reads a social media post from the VPD.
The three arrested were a 49-year-old man, a 42-year-old woman, and a 20-year-old man, according to police.
