4 Marylanders Charged In Multi-State Retail Theft Ring

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Multiple individuals face federal and state indictments in connection to a multi-state organized retail theft ring that impacted Prince George’s County and other areas in Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Cyan Simone Rocke, 25, of Washington, D.C.; Marco Pernell Morgan, 37, of Washington, D.C.; and Daryl Michael-Lashon Jackson, 30, of Laurel, Maryland, have been charged in federal court with conspiracy to violate federal law, particularly the interstate transportation of stolen goods.

Rocke; Tia Courtney, 31, of Capitol Heights, Maryland; Chyna Parker, 26, of Capitol Heights, Maryland; and Quasaan Parker, 22, of Capitol Heights, Maryland, also have been charged in Prince George’s County Circuit Court with offenses associated with organized retail theft.

“Organized retail theft is an assault on the sanctity and security of our communities, and a real threat to our local businesses,” Kelly O. Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, said. “This prosecution should send a clear message: our office takes these organized theft rings seriously and we will not hesitate to investigate and federally prosecute these crimes.”

According to the federal indictment, between October 2025 and April 2026, Rocke, Morgan and Jackson stole items from a national retail corporation and other businesses selling goods, then sold the products online. They stole more than $48,000 from stores in Columbia, Rockville, Timonium and from two stores in other states.

The state’s indictment charges several defendants with participating in a criminal organization, organizing retail theft $1500 to $25,000, theft $1,500 to $25,000, theft scheme $1,500 to $25,000 and conspiracy to participate in a criminal organization.

If convicted on the federal charges, Rocke, Morgan and Jackson each face up to five years in federal prison for the conspiracy.
