The Lacombe Police Service is investigating a significant theft that occurred at Shoppers Drug Mart on Sunday, June 16.
At around 9:15 p.m., six female suspects entered the business and stole approximately $3,214.00 worth of fragrance and beauty products. The suspects were described as wearing skirts, coats, and dresses.
Surveillance video obtained from the store shows the group entering together, with one suspect distracting a staff member while the others removed merchandise from unlocked perfume display cabinets.
The suspects then exited the store together, smiling and waving at the camera. No purchases were made during the visit.
The investigation has linked this incident to a similar occurrence in Red Deer and is believed to be part of a series of coordinated thefts targeting Shoppers Drug Mart locations across Alberta.
