Shoplifter Targets ULTA Beauty in Lexington, Police Seek Community Assistance

Shoplifter Strikes ULTA Beauty in Lexington

Lexington, SC – It’s been a busy couple of weeks in Lexington, and not all of it has been good news. Local police are seeking help from the community to track down a suspected shoplifter who has reportedly hit ULTA Beauty on Sunset Boulevard. This wasn’t just a small theft – the estimated value of the stolen items is over $2,500!

The Incident

The incident took place on October 9, 2024. That’s just a little over a week ago, so if you were shopping at ULTA that day or happened to be in the area, you might have seen something. The suspect, a woman, has been captured on surveillance cameras, and police are hoping someone can help identify her.

How You Can Help

If you recognize the woman or have any information related to the theft, the Lexington Police Department is encouraging you to reach out. Detective Williamson is leading the investigation and can be contacted directly at 803-358-1514 or via email at jwilliamson@lexsc.gov. The police assure you that you can remain anonymous if you prefer.

Looking to do something good? You can also submit tips to Midlands Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC or through their website. If your tip leads to an arrest, you could even be eligible for a cash reward!

A Community Concern

Shoplifting is a growing concern in many areas, and Lexington is no exception. The impact of theft is felt not just by businesses, but by the entire community. Local businesses provide jobs and services that benefit us all. When crime rises, it can affect prices, jobs, and the comfort people feel in going out to shop.

As a community, it’s essential to stay vigilant. Public spaces, especially shopping areas like those on Sunset Boulevard, can become suspicious places if we let our guard down. By coming together, sharing information, and looking out for one another, we can help keep our town safe.

In Conclusion

While it’s unfortunate that incidents like these happen, it’s reassuring that our police department is promptly addressing the issue and reaching out for community assistance. If you shop frequently at ULTA or know someone who does, keep your eyes peeled and report any suspicious activity.

Remember, teamwork makes the dream work! Let’s work together to ensure that Lexington remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone.
