And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

Today is Wednesday, February 9th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning. In the news this morning, police in Chester County are searching for two women

who allegedly stole thousands of dollars worth of makeup from at least two Ulta stores in the region.

According to West Whiteland Township Police, the woman stole roughly $10,000 worth of items from the Ulta store in Exden on February 3rd.

Police say one of the women removed the merchandise while the other distracted the employees.

It reportedly took them about 30 minutes to complete the theft.

I would imagine, Kathy, makeup's one of those things that is expensive in small amounts, right?

So getting away with a whole lot of it is kind of easy to do because it's compact.

Yeah, and they said, police said that they believe that thieves obviously knew what they were doing and they went for the high-priced items.

Kathy, we saw this story last night and I was astounded, the dollar figure, and I turned to my girlfriend. I can't believe they stole that much money. And she's like, I'm actually not because of what you just said. Like, you can find that much with that much value pretty quickly. Yeah. This is, that's personally on the show because Alta has great bathrooms. Yes. Yeah. They smell nice. We've used them times. Is this the one in Plymouth meeting? No. Looking at a video of it.

So she puts the bag down on the floor and then she goes to pick it up and she, I mean, there's a lot in there. Like, yeah, poised it up. In surveillance video, it looks like the women are just shopping.

You can't really tell that they're even together.

According to police, the same two women stole from an Ulta in Newtown Square, Delaware County on January 19th.

Police said that it wasn't reported to them until January 21st.

Surveillance footage captured the theft.

Police say that the women stole $12,430 worth of makeup during the incident.

Other Ulta stores in the area have been targeted recently, but police don't believe that these two women were involved.

And in an unrelated incident last week, West Whiteland Township, police released a video of a suspect wanted in a grab and run theft at Macy's.

That suspect was caught stealing about $2,000 worth of fragrances and also remains at large.

Anyone with information on the cases is asked to call the West Whiteland Township Police.

You know, Kath, I don't know if you have any, if you've ever talked to anybody about this,
