Police hunt woman who stole cosmetics from Berlin drugstore

Essen – City Center:

On November 15 of last year, an unidentified woman stole multiple cosmetic items from a drugstore in the underground passage at Willy-Brandt-Platz. Police are now searching for the suspect using surveillance camera footage.

At around 1:30 p.m., the woman approached the self-checkout counters with a well-filled shopping basket but scanned only some of the selected items. She then placed the unscanned products in her backpack and left the store without paying for numerous items.

The incident was captured by the store's security cameras.
