Thieves steal $6K in clothing, merchandise from Calgary Lululemon

The Lululemon store located at 2308A Fourth Street S.W. in Calgary, Alta.

Four people are facing charges after allegedly stealing thousands of dollars in clothing from a Calgary Lululemon store.

Police were called to the Fourth Street S.W. location on the evening of Jan. 23 after four people left with more than $6,000-worth of clothing and merchandise that had not been paid for.

Police got a detailed description of the getaway vehicle from witnesses, and later found it parked outside of a home in the 800 block of McPherson Road N.E.

Officers searched the home, arresting five people.

One of the five was cleared of any wrongdoing and released from police custody.

The stolen merchandise was retrieved and returned to the store.

“We would like to thank the witnesses who provided key information that led to the quick arrest of these individuals and recovery of the merchandise,” says Staff Sgt. Paul Ralstin in a Tuesday news release. “While retail crime can seem victimless, it has a real impact on business owners and the overall sense of safety within our community.”

The accused – a 30-year-old woman, 41-year-old woman, 20-year-old man and 46-year-old man – all face one count each of theft over $5,000.
