A California mom-of-three has been accused of masterminding an organized crime ring that stole nearly $8 million worth of makeup from stores like Ulta, T.J. Maxx and Walgreens — and then re-sold it online to churn a profit.
Michelle Mack, 53, ran the sprawling enterprise from her $2.75 million, 4,500-square-foot mansion in the San Diego foothills, according to authorities.
Mack allegedly paid as many as 12 women to steal from stores across the country, stockpiling the hot goods and then selling them on her Amazon storefront at a fraction of the retail price, according to authorities, NBC San Diego reported.
The alleged crime ring, dubbed the “California Girls,” traveled up and down the California coast as well as to 10 other states, including Texas, Florida, Massachusetts and Ohio, to carry out hundreds of thefts on Mack’s orders, investigators said, according to CNBC.

I’m sorry, but we’re going to have to start hanging thieves.
They’re living in mansions and raising up the price of everything for the rest of us.
No need to look.
She stole so much makeup there wasn’t any left for Elizabeth Warren. We paid the price for the result.
i predicted this as soon as it became a ticket to steal $999.00
I’ve often thought a lot of those things are being sold on the upscale resale sites

“ I’m sorry, but we’re going to have to start hanging thieves.”
What are you sorry for?
L
A “mom”.
In jail slippers already!
Racketeering. That’s how you get at these rings who organize individuals to steal $900 worth of stuff. One time for personal use, its a misdemeanor but it created a loophole similar to what drug dealers do. The drug dealers get underage kids to sell little bits of drugs because the penalty is light for the kids but the reward is big for the pusher.
So if you are involved in shoplifting dozens of times a month, as a part of a group of people working in concert, all profiting on the resale of these stolen goods, it’s a criminal enterprise. It’s no longer just theft or shoplifting.
Nope, she’s a white blond.
Mooselimbs come over here and open a grocery store. The man orders his four wives to apply for food stamps, WIC, welfare etc.
The women then use the food stamps to purchase items that are then resold at the grocery store.
This happens EVERYWHERE there are Mohammedans and Roma gypsies.
She’s an entrepreneur!!
We used to call those ‘Mary Kaye Parties’ back in the day. ;)
They know how to keep their costs down, for sure!
She’s not as tall as the officer, but she’s as big as he is otherwise.
What did you think I meant?
The only reason she is in custody is because she didn’t give 10% to the “big guy” ...
