MINDEN " Douglas County investigators say they've arrested two Carson City women suspected of stealing holiday gifts and other packages left on residential doorsteps.

Allisha Ezell, 39, and Evelyn Aceves, 34, were arrested Monday.

Authorities say video surveillance helped track the alleged thieves when they reportedly used stolen gift cards.

Six such incidents occurred in Douglas County, and numerous others occurred in Carson City and Reno in December through early January.

In Douglas County alone, losses that included toys, books and a Christmas wreath were estimated at $2,500.

Investigators say the women implicated a third suspect, Christina Vivian Anderson, who is believed to be in California.

The Douglas County district attorney's office is reviewing the case for criminal charges.
