Beauty Bandits Steal Christmas Trees and FOREO Face Cleansers from Vegas Warehouse
LAS VEGAS, July 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week two thieves eager for an early Christmas and immaculate skin robbed FOREO in what was one of the strangest robberies of 2018. The event was caught on camera as two men escaped with hundreds of FOREO Christmas Trees plus FOREO LUNA play decorations, and an additional year's supply of day and night cleansers.
The robbery took place on July 10, almost six months ahead of Christmas, at 11:18 pm (PDT), at the FOREO Las Vegas warehouse. The scoping of the building started much earlier, at 7:01 pm that evening proving criminal intent. The thieves opened 20 cases which makes it all the stranger that they settled on the Christmas trees before making their escape.
Security footage shows two thieves entering through a side door and making off with three large shipping boxes full of custom made FOREO Christmas trees - earmarked for display in Sephora, Nordstrom and Ulta stores this festive season.
In an additional twist, the thieves then turned their attentions to a box of day and night cleansers before making their getaway, laden with their festive loot, to the waiting car.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department arrived on the scene after the incident, unfortunately too late to apprehend the thieves and save Christmas. Investigations continue.
FOREO's CMO, Steve Thomson said: "Strange doesn't come close to describing this crime. FOREO designs sell at up to $7,000 USD a piece, but these thieves were attracted by a shiny Christmas tree display instead. I just hope our facial cleansing brushes help them turn over a clean slate!"
FOREO has hired 24-hour armed security around their warehouse while the thieves remain at large. For those who may know the perpetrators of the crime, FOREO is offering a reward of $2,000-worth of FOREO products to those who share information leading to the perpetrators arrest.
