Couple Stole $600K from Home Depot and Lowe's | St. Louis News

A St. Louis County couple, Farhan Rasoul Zadeh Seisan and Sona Sharifina, are accused of orchestrating an eight-year retail heist spree, stealing over $600,000 in hardware from Home Depot and Lowe’s by exploiting store returns and refunds. They allegedly staged elaborate thefts—grabbing items off shelves, using original receipts to bypass payment, and later canceling or returning them—before selling the loot on Amazon and eBay. Investigators uncovered a hidden mini-warehouse in their basement and garage, plus a massive stash of faucets and dimmers. Seisan, an Iranian refugee with 18 years in the U.S., and Sharifina, a U.S. permanent resident, now face state and federal charges including wire fraud and interstate theft. Sharifina has a court date in August, while Seisan’s $300,000 bail includes a strict order to stay 500 feet away from any Home Depot or Lowe’s. This sophisticated, long-running scheme is finally unraveling.
