Lady Wearing 'Won't Be Caught' T-Shirt Filmed While Shoplifting, Deputies Say
Hillsborough County deputies are hoping to prove her wrong.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is on the hunt for a woman and her accomplice who stand accused of swiping nearly $1,500 in perfume from a Citrus Park Ulta store.
Deputies say the two women walked into the 12715 Citrus Plaza Drive store around 3:42 p.m. March 15 and helped themselves to a variety of colognes and perfumes. The $1,478 in scents were stowed inside one of their purses and the two promptly left the store.
Both of the women have similar descriptions, but one stood out in particular to deputies.

Anyone who recognizes the women from the surveillance shots is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 813-247-8200. Those wishing to be eligible for a cash reward may submit tips through Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-873-TIPS (8477), reporting anonymously online at www.crimestopperstb.com or texting “CSTB plus your tip” to C-R-I-M-E-S (274637).
The Ulta incident isn’t the first time local law enforcement officers have run into suspects wearing ironic clothing. In January, the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office charged a man with drug possession who happened to be wearing a T-shirt that said “Who Needs Drugs” at the time. Deputies there also found an “Inmate of the Month” bumper sticker inside a home during a drug bust.
Sarasota deputies, however, maybe had one of the easiest arrests on record when they found a burglary suspect sleeping on a bed in the victim’s home. A bag of jewelry was snuggled up beside him.
