Shoplifters Hit Hoboken Lululemon 8 Times: Police Release Photos

HOBOKEN, NJ — The Hoboken location of the Lululemon clothing chain has lost $39,000 in merchandise in four months to various shoplifters, police said Friday — releasing photos of persons of interest who appear to not have covered their faces. (See below.)

"The Hoboken Police Department is requesting public assistance in identifying individuals wanted in connection with at least eight recent incidents of shoplifting at the same business on Washington Street," police said.

In the eight cases, which occurred between Aug. 30 through Nov. 26, people walked into the store, took multiple items, and left without paying, police said.

The combined amount of merchandise stolen is believed to be $39,000.

Police said they believe the incidents are unrelated.

Lululemon has been in the news this year in connection with shoplifting incidents. Late last month, a Connecticut couple was accused of carrying out a $1 million, multistate Lululemon shoplifting spree. READ MORE: CT Couple Who Stole $1M In Lululemon Merchandise Busted

Last year, Lululemon defended its decision to fire two employees for actually trying to stop a shoplifting attempt at a store in Georgia.

The cases are being investigated by Detective Connor Milne and Police Officer Joshua Campoverde.

Police said that anyone with information on these incidents, including the identities of the people in the photos, is asked to email Milnec@hobokenpdnj.gov or Campoverdej@hobokenpdnj.gov, or call 201-420-2100 ext. 3126 or 3139.
