Police in Toms River say four
people have been charged with stealing more than $9,000 worth of merchandise
from the Ulta Beauty store at the Ocean County Mall.
The incident happened Tuesday around 1:20 p.m. at the store located at
1203 Hooper Ave.
According to police, the four, who are from the Bronx and Brooklyn, are between the ages of 17
and 24.
Police say by the time they
arrived at the store, the four took off.
The 22-year-old, identified as
Frank Greene, of the Bronx, was found shortly after that. The other two female
suspects, identified as Shaquana John,
24, of Brooklyn, and Sereniti Butler, 20, of the Bronx, were found
hiding in the woods nearby. The teenager went into a house and
refused to come out, instead running through a back door, where two officers
were waiting.
All four were taken into custody, and are facing
multiple charges.
