Perfume Thief Evades Cops, Police Say

Man stole hundreds-of-dollars in perfume from Victoria's Secret, police say.

First, the panty thieves. Now, a perfume pirate.

A man who pilfered nearly $1,000 worth of perfume from Victoria's Secret at 100 Main Street in White Plains hasn't yet been tracked down by cops, police said.

The man—desribed as a black male in his mid-30s, standing 6-feet-tall and wearing a black jacket with light blue jeans—stuffed 12 bottles of perfume in a bag and then exited the lingerie store last Wednesday at 12:25 p.m., authorities said.
