HAMPTON - A woman from Hampton has been linked to a robbery that financed her underwear shopping spree, police said.

Charlotte Hall, along with Anna Albecker, are believed to have profited from a robbery on June 1 in the Todd's Lane area of Hampton.

According to an affidavit for a search warrant filed at Hampton Circuit Court, two men were told by women identifying themselves as "Charly" and "Anna" they would meet them about 2:45 a.m. on June 1.

When they arrived in the rendezvous area near Sedgefield Elementary School, they were attacked by two men wearing masks, armed with a handgun, court documents stated. One of the victims was struck in the face with the gun, breaking a tooth.

we are not surprised to read about this. Having a lingerie business, we know how careful, we have to screen our customers to make sure, that they don't make any fraudulent purchases, or that they don't steel our merchandise, when visiting our Las Vegas store.

Lingerie is by far the most fastest growing industry today. Women will go to any length to look and feel good. I have noticed a vairety of personalities emerge by studying thier shopping habbits. Corsets, baby dolls, chemise, gowns, bustiers and costumes seem to to be attracted to certain types of individuals. Sexy Lingerie is such a broard area, I wonder what these women actually purchased with thier stolen money, it would make a good study.

I wonder if the purchase was to keep a happy hubby or to look good for inmates on the inside.

I run an online store and I can tell you that lingerie is a very popular item for women as well as men. The number of lingerie websites mushrooming all over the internet is enough to tell you that intimate apparel attract buyers. So, it isn't very surprising to hear the story above, especially when really beautiful and good quality lingerie aren't cheap at all and if you have that addiction, you'll need loads of money for it.
