Barbie burglary: Suspect accused of stealing Barbie doll collection worth $10K

ANDERSON, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office said two women were arrested after an incident involving the theft of a Barbie doll collection worth $10,000.

According to the sheriff’s office, Felicia Houser staked out outside a double-wide trailer on Echo Circle and waited for the homeowner to return to make a deal. Houser, however, broke into the home and started filling her truck with the Holiday Barbie collectibles, plastic boxes still intact, deputies said.

Deputies said the homeowner returned, seeing the crime unfold, and called law enforcement. Houser sped off in a black Yukon, deputies said.

Deputies said they detained Erin Duncan, who was found to have methamphetamine in her possession.

After being on the run, officials said Houser was located and taken into custody. The holiday Barbies were found inside the Yukon along with a baseball collection and packages of raw meat.

Officials mentioned that while the collection might not look worth $10,000, they confirm that it is.

The sheriff’s office said Houser is charged with grand larceny, burglary and malicious injury while Duncan is charged with possession of meth.

Deputies initially said Duncan was also involved in the theft of the dolls, but later said they cannot confirm her involvement in the burglary and are working to get more information.
