Police Investigating A Very Fragrant Crime

Thursday, November 9th, 2023

The Dalton Police Department is asking for the public's help to identify two suspects who shoplifted more than $1,000 in fragrances from a local beauty store. Investigators have surveillance images of the suspects, but unfortunately they are not scratch-n-sniff. 

The incident happened on October 9th at the Ulta Beauty store on West Walnut Avenue. At approximately 7:50 pm, the two suspects, a white man and woman, entered the store and began to place merchandise into a large tote bag. They left the store two minutes later without paying for the stolen items. Store management reported that the items taken were all men's and women's fragrances valued at a total of $1,191. The store's manager believes that the same two individuals were also involved in another theft from the store in a prior incident.

The male suspect is described as being in his late 20's or early 30's with a slender build and standing between 5'10" and 6'2" in height. He has a closely cropped dark beard and wore a black Nike hoodie and a brown American flag baseball cap. The female suspect was also described as being in her late 20's or early 30's with a heavyset build standing less than 5'3" tall. She had shoulder-length dark hair and wore a gray Nike t-shirt, black Nike leggings, and glasses. She has a tattoo on her left forearm. Her keys were on a red lanyard. 

Anyone who knows the identity of these suspects or who has any other information on this incident is asked to please contact Detective Charles Williams at 706-278-9085, extension 9-280.
