For the better part of four years, authorities said, a Cheltenham woman traveled to Victoria’s Secret stores throughout the Mid-Atlantic and stole nearly $1 million worth of lingerie to sell on eBay.

Tiffany Halley, 41, has been charged with more than 190 counts of retail theft and related crimes, for what investigators described as a rash of shoplifting from malls in Maryland, New Jersey and Connecticut, as well as shopping centers closer to her home, including the King of Prussia and Lehigh Valley malls.

Investigators said Halley stole about $923,000 worth of merchandise from the Victoria’s Secret stores between November 2022 and March, according to the affidavit of probable cause for her arrest. She later sold the lingerie online at a significant discount, netting $152,760 in profit, the affidavit said.

A loss-prevention investigator for Victoria’s Secret discovered Halley’s eBay store in May 2025 while searching for stolen items being sold online, the affidavit said. The items she advertised were described as brand new and still bearing their tags.

The investigator then purchased several of the items Halley was selling, and used electronic identification chips sewn into the clothing to determine which stores they had been stolen from.

Using surveillance footage from the stores, the investigator was able to track Halley, who wore a distinct embroidered hat on many of her trips to the malls. The footage showed that Halley would take a large number of items into the stores’ dressing rooms, then hide some of them under her clothing and leave without paying for them, according to the affidavit.

Cell phone data pulled from Halley’s phone linked her travel path to various Victoria’s Secret stores, and after serving a search warrant at her home, investigators found some of the lingerie she had listed for sale on eBay.

Halley had not been taken into custody as of Thursday. Pennsylvania State Police troopers served a warrant at her home on Ryers Avenue on April 30, but she wasn’t there, the arrest affidavit said.

Reached by phone, she told the troopers she was on a trip with her daughter, but has since made no effort to turn herself in, authorities said.

The investigation remains active, and there is a warrant for her arrest, according to police.
