COEUR d'ALENE - Something didn't smell right to a Macy's loss prevention manager when she saw a customer select three perfume box sets at the store on Christmas Eve.
Following her nose, the manager watched as the customer took the three sets of fragrances into a dressing room. When the customer exited the room, she was carrying a large shopping bag and the merchandise was not visible.
That was when it dawned on her that the customer was not a customer at all, but a shoplifter who had stolen store merchandise on two prior occasions.
Unable to intercept the suspect, the manager contacted the Coeur d'Alene Police, and according to an incident report, she told the officer that on Dec. 2 and Dec. 20 the same woman had stolen more than $3,000 worth of merchandise.
The three boxes of perfume were valued at $353 and according to the incident report, the shoplifter is a 5-foot-5 female with shoulder-length black hair.
