Yesterday, two more people found out that Irvine is not the place to commit organized retail theft. The duo entered Sephora with an Apple shopping bag and an empty MacBook box inside, according to the Irvine Police Department.
The computer box had a hidden opening, allowing them to conceal $1,400 in beauty products. The Irvine Police Department calls that a good old-fashioned booster bag or what Harry Houdini would call “magic.” Even a little trickery couldn’t conceal this blemish…
In partnership with loss prevention, Spectrum police officers quickly took the couple into custody after they exited the store with the stolen loot.
Rafael Eduardo Ruiz Diaz, 48, of Colombia, and Kattia Centeno Carvajal, 48, of Costa Rica, were arrested and booked at Orange County Jail on suspicion of burglary and conspiracy.
