Wow. Bravo officers.
(Edit)65 year old transient with a crack pipe at Ulta is a pretty strong tell that something is amiss.

They are indeed and, increasingly, through online outlets.
News 24-680, do you know if the WCPD arrested the Sephora thieves yesterday? Or was it yet another escape to a freeway? Thank you.
Morning, Anne… we believe the PD stopped several suspects, mostly young and some with stolen items allegedly in their possession. Apparently they dispersed after the theft so it was difficult to get a hard count of those arrested.
