3 Accused Of Stealing $10K Worth Of Beauty Supply Products

SEEKONK, MA —Seekonk Police arrested three people reportedly caught in the act of stealing thousands of dollars of merchandise at the Ulta Beauty store on Commerce Way. Now police are working with law enforcement in two other states to determine if the three are connected to similar crimes in the region.

Police said they arrested Kyronne Williams, 36, of Seekonk, Denaisha Stephenson, 28, and 30-year-old Amyna Adams, 30, both of Hartford, CT at the beauty store.

All of three were charged with larceny with more than $1,200, conspiracy to commit a felony, receiving stolen property, and organized retail crime. Adams was also charged with number plate violation to conceal an ID.

Employees called police Thursday to report that three people were hiding products in handbags, shopping baskets and trash bags and preparing to walk out. Officers arrived just as the three were leaving the store, and one started to run away, but, after a short foot chase, police were able to catch them.

Police said they found $9,841.69 worth of merchandise during the initial investigation.

Then, when officers searched the car the three had used, police said they found more merchandise worth thousands of dollars along with cash. Police said they believed the stolen products were sold to salons, bodegas, stores and individuals to get the cash.

Seekonk Police are working with police in Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts to see if the three are connected to similar crimes.
