2 Women Busted In Cupertino Cosmetics Theft: Cops
A stash of cosmetics estimated at $8,000 was found in their vehicle, Santa Clara County Sheriff's officials allege.
CUPERTINO, CA — Two women were arrested on Tuesday night for stealing from a Walgreens store in Cupertino, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. Menlo Park resident Cambria Romes and Antioch resident Shanel White, both 21, were seen by sheriff's deputies walking out of the store with large amounts of cosmetics products.
Deputies found the amount of makeup they were leaving with suspicious and engaged the women in conversation, sheriff's Sgt. Richard Glennon said.
Glennon said that after initiating dialogue, the deputies came to the conclusion that neither Romes nor White had paid for the items and arrested them on suspicion of grand theft and conspiracy.
