Police say three women have been arrested and are accused of trying to steal from the Macy's in Roosevelt Field, and then tried to injure a detective.
Officers say it all started with two suspects, 32-year-old Samantha Signorelli, of Freeport, and Baldwin native 25-year-old Michele Brown.
Nassau police say the duo left Macy's Sunday around 1p.m. The two allegedly had merchandise in their hands that they didn't buy. The pair were immediately placed under arrest.
However, police say that's when a detective noticed a third suspect, 36-year-old Amber Johnson, of North Bellmore, waiting in a car for Brown and Signorelli. 
The detective tried to stop Johnson's vehicle when they say she intentionally hit him and drove off with the detective on the hood of the car.
Police say Johnson then hit a parked Nissan, throwing the detective from the vehicle and sped off.
Officers were able to find and arrest Johnson a short time later.
All three face a list of charges and will face a judge later today.
