5th time’s the charm: Macy’s staff finally catches shoplifting suspect in repeated thefts

BOCA RATON, Fla. (CBS12) — An alleged notorious shoplifter was apprehended after filling her tote bag with nearly $1,000 worth of stolen merchandise from Macy’s, police say.

The Boca Raton Police Department (BRPD) reported that on Saturday at 8:44 p.m., officers responded to Macy’s, located at 5700 West Glades Road, in the Town Center Mall, regarding a repeat shoplifter who had been detained by the store’s Loss Prevention officer.

Upon arrival, BRPD officers spoke with the loss prevention officer, who informed them that their team immediately recognized 24-year-old Katherine Molina as a frequent shoplifter when she entered the store. The loss prevention officer shared that they had a flyer with screenshots from their surveillance cameras, which captured Molina stealing on four separate occasions.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Molina entered the store carrying what appeared to be an empty tote bag. Security footage showed her selecting items, going into the dressing room, and exiting with her tote bag filled with those items—an act that occurred twice. It was also noted that Molina changed into a shirt she had stolen before leaving Macy’s.

The loss prevention team apprehended Molina outside the store, where they discovered she had 17 items, including undergarments, hoodies, jeans, shirts, and pajamas, with a total value of $957.97.

In a conversation with officers, Molina stated that she did not understand why she was stealing, claimed it was a poor decision, and promised she would never do it again.

Molina has been accused of grand theft of $750 to $5,000.
