Montgomery County police say a ring of thieves have hit Ulta, Target, Nike, Sephora and other retailers, stealing tens of thousands of dollars in merchandise.
At an Ulta beauty store, police say, they slammed a crowbar into glass cases and left with $10,000 worth of high-end fragrances. A week earlier, they’re accused of hitting a Nike shop in downtown Bethesda, running off with trash bags filled with $5,000 worth of merchandise. And a month before that, it was allegedly a Target, also in Bethesda, that gave up $2,700 worth of TVs and other electronics.
Jones said while the thieves may have looked chaotic inside stores — rushing in, smashing display cases and rushing out — they had been organized with ready buyers lined up for their stolen goods. All told, the group is accused of stealing about $49,000 of merchandise in Montgomery County, police said. Ulta lost $78,000 in Montgomery County and other jurisdictions, police said.One of the adults charged, Shaquille Pittman, 28, is being held without bond in the Montgomery County jail and is accused in thefts at Target, Ulta, Sephora and the Nike store.
A D.C. police spokesman declined to discuss the crew or its possible activities in the District other than to say their investigation is ongoing. D.C. detectives have been in contact with their Montgomery counterparts to explore any connections.Montgomery County police got a big break in the case June 15 after a store employee got photos and a registration number of the getaway car — a Lexus ES 350. Patrol officers spotted the Lexus snarled in nearby traffic from road construction.
