Police say a woman and a juvenile are under arrest.

Police say a woman and a juvenile are under arrest after they were accused of stealing $21,000 worth of underwear from Victoria’s Secret.

Authorities in Lower Allen Township, Pennsylvania, say 18-year-old Aida Melcado and a minor allegedly walked into a Victoria’s Secret store at the Capital City Mall.

The minor allegedly acted as a lookout, while Melcado allegedly snatched panties from display tables and drawers and jammed them into her bag.

Cops say they got away with about 2,000 pairs — including 1,375 thongs, according to WPMT.

About two weeks later, authorities say, Melcado and the minor were arrested during a drug investigation in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Both were charged. Cops say they had also allegedly stolen items from a Victoria’s Secret in Bethesda, Maryland.

It is unclear if Melcado has an attorney.
