15-Year-Old Boy Busted for Boosting Hair Dye from Sally's

This Milwaukee teen picked the wrong beauty store to steal from because he only made it a few blocks before Fox Point police caught up with him and found the stolen goods.

A 15-year-old Milwaukee boy was arrested for retail theft and then dropped off at his mother's house after he tried to lift some blonde hair dye and concealer from in the . 

According to the report:

A Sally's employee told a teenage boy came into the store just before 7 p.m. May 8 and left with either makeup or hair color. She was able to provide the license plate and a description of the vehicle that he got into when he left and police caught up with the van near Port Washington and Calumet roads.

Officers asked the teen where he was coming from and he said physical therapy at Riverpoint. They asked if he went into Sally's Beauty Supply and he said yes, turning over some cover up makeup and hair color. He said he didn’t take anything from the store, however, based on his admission of handling the hair dye and the employee’s statement, police searched the teen and the van.

Inside the van they found a bottle of blonde hair dye with a matching product number from the Sally store. He was arrested for retail theft and taken back to his mother’s house.
