Suspicious activity. An officer checked the registration of a vehicle he saw parked in the back section of the Tamarack Village parking lot. The vehicle, which had an occupant on the passenger's side, was owned by someone familiar to police from past shoplifting and narcotics arrests. The officer contacted one of the stores in the shopping center who advised the officer that they were already watching a suspicious female they suspected of concealing several items. After she left the store without buying anything and returned to the vehicle in the lot the officer conducted a traffic stop of the vehicle. The driver, unsolicited, told him she didn't go through with the theft of items from the store. A consented search of the vehicle confirmed it.
