The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said the women were arrested after providing false information to open credit lines and spend more than $10,000 at area stores.
Security at Saks Fifth Avenue contacted deputies Thursday to report that two women used fraudulent driver's licenses to open credit lines at the store. Deputies said security alerted them again after the women returned the next day and were trying to use the phony credit lines again.
Deputies said the women spent more than $10,000 at Saks, GameStop and Dillard's.
During their investigation, detectives found UPS tracking information and learned the women sent more merchandise to Miami.
Detectives obtained a search warrant and found high-end purses and expensive electronics, among other items, in the shipments.
Authorities said the stolen goods totaled about $20,000 in a little more than two days of shopping.
