Police search for suspects who stole $13,000 worth of perfume
Lethbridge police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspected perfume thieves that have targeted multiple Shoppers Drug Marts in that city and across the province.
Between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, a man and a woman entered Shoppers Drug Mart locations at Lethbridge’s Park Place Mall, Columbia Boulevard, Mayor Magrath Drive, and 26th Avenue North and stole around $13,000 worth of perfume.
According to police, the man entered the stores first to distract staff before the woman came in and filled a basket with perfume and then transferred the bottles to her purse.
Police believe the woman had a demagnetizing device in her purse to prevent the security sensors from being triggered.
Anyone with information about the two suspects is asked to call Lethbridge police at 403-328-4444.
