On Monday, April 3, 2023, at approximately 8:11 a.m., Ramsey entered the Westfield Wheaton Shopping Center and broke into the stand-alone, Cellairis kiosk. The suspect stole property and an undisclosed amount of cash before leaving the area.

On Tuesday, August 15, 2023, at approximately 8 p.m., Ramsey re-entered the shopping center and began to walk around the Toy World kiosk.
