Beach Hat, Oversized Shades—And a $1,600 Ulta Heist Caught on Camera!

Port St. Lucie, FL — St. Lucie County deputies are on the lookout for a stylish woman they’ve dubbed the “Glam Bandit.” On May 26 around 2:40 p.m., surveillance video captured her entering Ulta Beauty in the St. Lucie West shopping center. Wearing a big beach hat, oversized sunglasses, flip-flops, and carrying two large shopping bags, she used a stolen credit card to charge more than $1,600 worth of cosmetics.

Deputies describe her as a slim woman with dark hair, who confidently walked out of the store carrying her haul—appearing “ready to slay.” The sheriff’s office even joked she looked like she could’ve been in a “Pretty Woman” sequel titled Pretty Woman: The Credit Card Fraud Chronicles.

Investigators posted a still image from the store’s surveillance footage and are asking anyone who recognizes the suspect to come forward. They’re particularly eager for tips in case the woman plans to visit another beauty retailer like Sephora.

Detective Rui Rodrigues is leading the investigation. Witnesses or anyone with information can contact him or reach out to Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers. Deputies hope that community tips could help apprehend the bold thief, who clearly didn’t care about being seen.
