Leader of US retail theft ring that allegedly stole $8m in cosmetics caught

Michelle Mack allegedly recruited women to steal for her and would then sell the goods on Amazon, raking in almost $2m in 2022

From a mansion in a San Diego suburb, Michelle Mack allegedly oversaw a retail theft ring that stole $8m in cosmetics from stores such as Ulta and Sephora, which she then sold on Amazon.

In December, police arrested the 53-year-old along with her husband, Kenneth, taking the pair into custody on their sprawling property, according to footage taken by CNBC and published this week. Their teen daughters watched nearby, the outlet reported.
