The suspected thieves were caught on Friday, Dec. 15 in Oceanside, according to Nassau County Police.
At approximately 3:30 p.m. that day, the three men — Rickardo Wallace, age 22 of Queens, Devon Findlay, age 30 of Brooklyn, and Shakair Moncrieffe, age 25, also a Brooklyn resident — were seen entering the Sephora located at 3715 Long Beach Road with backpacks.
Once inside, they scooped merchandise off the shelves into their backpacks and fled the scene in a white 2011 BMW. Officers found them a short time later at Oceanside Avenue and Cypress Avenue, where they were arrested with their makeup haul still in the vehicle.
