Three women suspected of shoplifting from a California Burlington store were caught on camera slowly wheeling out three shopping carts of merchandise in a broad daylight spectacle over the weekend.
Sacramento police confirmed with The Post on Tuesday that they’re actively investigating the alleged theft that took place Saturday at a store in Sacramento.
Video of the brazen incident emerged online showing the plus-sized suspects making a break for it in the parking lot of the shopping center on North Freeway Drive and loading up the goods into a red Dodge Charger as alarms blared in the background.
“Damn, look at these people stealing! Say hi to the camera!” the man filming can be heard teasing the women in the video as they hurl mounds of clothes and shoes into the trunk of the car.
“Look at this s–t. What the f–k is this?” he says, walking towards them.
The video, which was shared on Instagram by @ppv_tahoe, shows that the women had also parked in a handicapped parking spot without a placard during the heist.
The quick-thinking cameraman made sure to get a close up on the car’s license plate and even asked one of the women her name before she slammed the trunk shut and pulled away, ripping the engine
The Sacramento Police Department said a police report had been filed.
“No arrests have been made at this point, however this is an active investigation,” police said.
The Post has reached out to Burlington’s corporate offices for comment.
The theft is the latest in a growing epidemic of organized shoplifting that has affected cities across the country.
Retail theft in America has skyrocketed to $94 billion — an alarming 90% increase since 2018, according to the National Retail Federation.
