Three Chicago residents have been charged with felony retail theft after authorities say they discovered over $10,000 worth of merchandise from Alo and Lululemon in their vehicle.
The Cook County Sheriff’s Department says the arrests are the result of a July 21 investigation that began after two women stole merchandise from an Alo store in Skokie and fled in a black Chevy with no license plates.
Later that day, sheriff’s officers stopped a vehicle matching the description in Chicago’s Auburn Gresham area. Inside the car, they allegedly discovered bags of Alo and Lululemon items with security sensors still connected.
All three occupants in the vehicle—a man driving and two female passengers—were arrested.
Investigators then linked the ladies, 20-year-old Tekiah White and 22-year-old Breauna Martin, to previous thefts at Ulta stores in Chicago and River Forest.
Officials said White and the driver, Tyshun Williams, 22, were previously implicated in crimes at the Lululemon store on Rush Street in Chicago.
Authorities charged White and Martin with three counts of felony retail theft. Williams was charged with a single count.
During their initial court hearings, all three were ordered released from custody.
