Perfumer Pilferer
We understand times are hard, but we can't end up here. This person is wanted for stealing fragrances from Ulta Beauty. She entered the store and helped herself to fragrances worth over $1900. This took place on July 7, at the Ulta Beauty in the Village of Wellington.
Children in Hot Cars
We can't stress enough how important it is not to leave your children or pets in the car. We see it way too often. We arrested this mother for leaving her toddler in a hot car while shopping at Wellington Green Mall. Thamyres Ponce, was charged with Child Neglect.
Skimming Devices at Gas Stations
We have been advised of skimming devices being placed at different gas stations along 441 in West Boca. Yesterday, we were able to arrest two suspects who were seen installing an illegal skimming device at the Chevron at 19345 South State Road 7.
PBSO Helping Families in Need of Shoes
Sadly, we come across children and families in need of shoes way too often. For that reason, we partnered up with "In Jacob's Shoes" almost 10 years ago, to give shoes to children in need. Together, we are making a difference.
