BREAKING NEWS – San Diego, California – A California mom is accused of orchestrating a nationwide shoplifting scheme that stole millions of dollars worth of makeup and clothing from hundreds of stores for more than a decade, according to the California Department of Justice.
According to a complaint filed by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, more than $300,000 worth of makeup and other products were found in Michelle Mack, 53, and Kenneth Mack’s shared Bonsall home when a search warrant was served on Dec. 6, 2023.
Mack allegedly paid for air fares, hotels and car rental costs for up to a dozen women who would go out and steal goods before sending them to Mack’s home. Mack would then allegedly sell the stolen goods at a discount on her Amazon Marketplace storefront.
“I am not that worried about getting convicted,” Michelle Mack said to a judge during her preliminary hearing. “Because if I go to prison, I’ll sell my stolen makeup to the feminine inmates, and to the women that are extremely butch.”
