Three people have been charged after allegedly stealing more than $18,000 in merchandise from Ulta Beauty stores in Tennessee, according to court records.
Authorities identified the suspects as Yilianne Casero, Yoandys Diaz, and Sariel Maqueira. They were reportedly seen inside an Ulta Beauty store on Jan. 22 before leaving in a red car.
A traffic stop on Interstate 40 in Knox County revealed that Casero had multiple outstanding warrants. A K-9 officer alerted police to drugs inside the vehicle.
During a search of the car, officers discovered several trash bags containing merchandise stolen from multiple Ulta Beauty locations, valued at approximately $18,443. The bags also reportedly contained stolen merchandise from Sephora.
All three suspects have been charged with two counts of theft of merchandise and one count under the Organized Retail Crime Prevention Act.
