Perfume Thieves Pilfer Products From Ulta, Kohl's In Wheaton

WHEATON, IL — Thieves hit two stores in Wheaton in late December, taking several perfume bottles and leaving without paying.

The first incident took place at the Ulta store located at 112 Danada Square West on Dec. 20. Police say three women came into the store and took "numerous fragrance items" before leaving without paying. The incident took place around 1:30 p.m.

On Dec. 24, police were called to the Kohl's store at 401 S. County Farm Rd. for a report of a retail theft just before 4:30 p.m. Employees reported that six men came into the store and stole fragrances and other merchandise.

In mid-December, similar retail thefts were reported at the same Ulta and Kohl's stores, but it was unclear whether the incidents were related.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Wheaton Police Department at 630-260-2161.
