In Texas, Burglar Nabs $30,000 in Perfume, Cologne


A Dallas perfume store owner says a $30,000 burglary could put him out of business.

Dallas police are investigating the break-in at Paris Perfumes in the 900 block of West Jefferson Boulevard.

The owner discovered the theft of an estimated $30,000 in perfume and cologne when he went to open his shop Friday morning, according to the police report.

The thief pried open the lock to the front door of the business and stole several expensive bottles of fragrance, including brands such as Armani, Gucci, Versace and Dolce and Gabbana.

"It's very frustrating," said Juan Chavarri, the owner of Paris Perfumes. "It's a problem to have a business. The problems of the economy [are] not my problems. I have to live with it, plus this. It's really hard."

Because of his frustration and the amount of inventory lost, Chavarri said he may consider going out of business.

Chavarri said he recently relocated to the West Jefferson Boulevard location from another nearby storefront where he had been for the previous 10 years. In all that time, he had never been burglarized, Chavarri. That location had security bars on the inside of the doors; the current location does not.
