BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — A Boston woman is facing multiple charges after allegedly stealing from a Boston Sephora.
The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said that 33-year-old Kourtney McClean was ordered into custody for allegedly stealing $6,681 worth of merchandise over the course of two months from the Sephora on 7 North St. McClean was arraigned in Central Boston Municipal Court at the beginning of March.
Police said they have video surveillance footage of the incidents, showing the alleged suspect enter the store on four separate occasions: three times in July 2023 and once in September 2023. When looking at the footage on Sep. 25, 2023, officers said they “observed a female, who they all recognized to be McClean, place 10 items inside a blue tote bag.”
“Retail theft does not affect just the retailer. It affects the entire community. When stores close because of rampant theft, or are forced to secure their items in locked compartments, consumers are directly impacted. We are working with retailers to make the shopping experience as safe as possible for shoppers and store employees,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden.
McClean is due back in court on April 4th.
