Thieves dressed as couriers steal $80K worth of goods from Planet Beauty warehouse in O.C.
Thieves dressed as delivery people stole 41 boxes of products from a Planet Beauty warehouse in Costa Mesa on Dec. 11, employees say.
The warehouse manager, Oscar Hernandez, says the estimated retail value of the stolen goods amounts to approximately $80,000.
Surveillance footage captured the theft as it took place within minutes on Wednesday, not far from employees who were unaware of what was happening in broad daylight.
“Tall guys with tattoos on the left arm, what else can I say?” Hernandez recounted to KTLA’s Chris Wolfe. “They were brave.”
The footage shows one man hurriedly packing boxes of high-end goods into a white van with a Carmax license plate.
The suspects have yet to be identified. In addition to what was captured on camera, Hernandez says they had to be strong to move heavy boxes, so easily and quickly.
Victims say the culprits were able to make a few trips back and forth before finally being discovered and chased away.
Hernandez says that he wants their loss to be a cautionary tale for others, especially other companies on overdrive this time of year, selling and shipping all kinds of merchandise for the holidays.
“Just be careful out there,” warns Hernandez.
The business is now distributing flyers, asking for the public’s help in providing information in the case.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Costa Mesa Police.
