Deputies Say 2 Women Stole Nearly $5K In Makeup, Perfume From Ulta On Black Friday

AUBURN (CBS13) — Two women in Placer County are facing charges of burglary and grand theft after reportedly swiping high-end items of the shelves of an Ulta on Black Friday.

The Placer County Sheriff's Office said 44-year-old Ericka Chacon and 36-year-old Yolanda Cervantez of Sacramento were caught on camera stealing from the beauty store.

Customers inside the Ulta store in Auburn were hoping to score a good deal on Black Friday, but two women had a different idea. Surveillance video captured 44-year old Ericka Chacon and 36-year old Yolanda Cervantez of Sacramento walking into the Ulta store on Black Friday, and almost immediately begin swiping high-end items off the shelves. Chacon is seen brazenly filling up her handbag with perfume. She's seen walking in and out of the fragrance section, each time swiping more items into her bag. Cervantez is clearly seen stuffing her handbag, as she crouches down in one of the aisles. The women walked out with nearly 5,000 dollars in high-end makeup and perfume, but with the help of quick-thinking witnesses, deputies caught the suspects near the Elm Avenue on-ramp after the pair led them on a high-speed chase on Interstate 80, and crashed into a guardrail. Both women were transported to a nearby hospital for their injuries. The women face charges of burglary, conspiracy, grand theft and evading a peace officer.
