From Patron to $140 per bottle tequila, thieves kept hitting this Florida liquor store
Shoplifters swiped 11 bottles of tequila, including a $140 bottle of Don Julio 1942, from a Wellington Total Wine & More store in four robberies over 15 days.
Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office released surveillance video stills of the robberies Friday afternoon.
▪ Jan. 17: PBCSO says a woman took four bottles of Roca Patron tequila, hid them on herself and walked out. The surveillance video still released has a 2:29 p.m. time stamp.
▪ Jan. 17: A woman in a black top and red skirt pictured entering at 7:08 p.m. is accused of stealing five bottles of “various spirits.”
▪ Jan. 30: PBCSO said the female in a couple shopping in the store gave herself the purse discount — put the bottles in her purse — on six bottles of Patron tequila around 2:05 p.m.
▪ Feb. 1: A white male in glasses is accused of putting the slender 750 ml bottle of Don Julio 1942 inside his jacket and leaving the store without ponying up the $139.99 retail price. The Total Wine website says the tequila is “produced in very limited amounts” and is unavailable.
Anyone with information on these these thefts can call Crime Stoppers at 800-458-8477 (TIPS) or use the “See Something” part of the PBSO app.
