Florida doctor accused of stealing nearly $3k worth of merchandise at Target

She needs a lawyer. Stat.

A doctor in Florida was arrested after she allegedly tried to steal nearly $3,000 worth of merchandise at a Target store — and was caught driving a stolen luxury car.

Lindsey Jae Minshew, 40, allegedly “stole $2,716.61 worth of merchandise” during a shoplifting spree at Target store in Jacksonville, Florida, on Jan. 16, according to online records from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Minshew is a practicing medical doctor who completed her residency at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in 2017. She’s worked in Florida since 2012, but holds a secondary license in Pennsylvania, both of which expire in January 2027, according to records from the Florida Department of Health.

The well-meaning Target employee who reported Minshew’s alleged theft did not specify which items were taken, how many or how she got out of the store with that value of merchandise.

Police said that Minshew pulled a black 2024 Porsche 911 — which costs upwards of $130,000 — into the Target parking lot 30 minutes before she entered the store.

Her flashy vehicle, though, was apparently also stolen, according to the report.

When Minshew was booked on Jan. 23, she rolled into the station with a full face of makeup — complete with filled-in eyebrows and bold pink lipstick. Her bleached blonde hair was buzzed close to her head.

Minshew was charged with grand theft of an amount between $750 and $4,999, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. Officials didn’t say if she will face charges related to the stolen car.

It’s unclear if Minshew’s illicit retail therapy will have any impact on the validity of her medical license.

Just one state away, a Georgia elementary school assistant principal was accused of brazenly stealing 98 items worth about $1,000 from Walmart using a “stacking” scheme at self-checkout kiosks.

Self-checkout kiosks at superstores rely on a flimsy security camera — and their eagle-eyed employees — to make sure each customer is paying for every item.

Courtney Janell Shaw, 47, allegedly placed multiple items on top of each other, but only scanned the one at the bottom before placing it all in her bag.

The trick apparently fooled the camera on multiple occasions, and Shaw allegedly bilked $943.97 in partially-paid merchandise between November and December.
