Three women suspected of shoplifting from a California Burlington store were caught on camera slowly wheeling out three shopping carts of merchandise in a broad-daylight spectacle over the weekend.
Sacramento police confirmed with The Post on Tuesday that they’re actively investigating the alleged theft that took place Saturday at a local store.
Video of the brazen incident emerged online showing the plus-size suspects making a break for it in the parking lot of the shopping center on North Freeway Drive and loading the goods into a red Dodge Charger as alarms blared in the background.
“Damn, look at these people stealing! Say hi to the camera!” the man filming can be heard teasing the women in the video as they hurl mounds of clothes and shoes into the trunk of the car.
“Look at this s–t. What the f–k is this?” he says, walking toward them.
The video, which was shared on Instagram by @ppv_tahoe, shows that the women had also parked in a handicapped parking spot without a placard during the heist.
The quick-thinking cameraman made sure to get a close-up of the car’s license plate and even asked one of the women her name before she slammed the trunk shut and pulled away, gunning the engine.
The Sacramento Police Department said a police report had been filed.
“No arrests have been made at this point, however, this is an active investigation,” police said.
The Post has reached out to Burlington’s corporate offices for comment.
The theft is the latest in a growing epidemic of organized shoplifting that has affected cities across the country.
Retail theft in America has skyrocketed to $94 billion — an alarming 90% increase since 2018, according to the National Retail Federation.

That one woman apparently cut her leg. Gravy was pouring out!!
Nasty fat-ass white trash should be tied to a whipping post and filleted.Cab taste the puke in my mouth looking at those aberrations.
and the law abiding citizens get to pay for their thievery.
Yes America. Screwed up California is the model for the rest of America. The leftists will let these wonderful urbanites drive all the business’s out of the city. Then these wack jobs that the rest of us moved away from to the suburbs and rural areas will get saddled with them. Keep voting DemocRat and soon you will be hearing the plans to build low income housing in you nice neighborhood.
Being the engineering kind of fellow I am and the kind of person I was in my younger years I think I might have just camped out outside of stores that constantly get hit and wait for the sirens to go off and then go and take all the shoplifters goods away from them. It surprises me that there are not crews doing that right now.
