HOW MUCH LIQUOR CAN TWO WOMEN STEAL IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES? A SURPRISING AMOUNT On the evening of Feb. 8, two thieves entered the Walgreens Liquor Store at 1751 Bonaventure Blvd. in Weston and in mere minutes were able to shoplift $2450 worth of alcohol. The all-female duo used large tote-style purses to conceal 22 bottles without raising alarms. At one point, one of the thieves was so brazen she reached behind the register and grabbed a bottle while the unsuspecting clerk rang up an actual customer. The thieves made out with five bottles of Cîroc Apple, one bottle of Cîroc Peach, one bottle of Cîroc Pineapple, two bottles of Cîroc Mango, four bottles of Patrón, three bottles of Grey Goose and six bottles of Hennessy. The first shoplifter is described as a short black female with a medium frame and burgundy or red hair pulled back into a ponytail. She wore a plaid button-down shirt with a hood, dark pants and white sandals. The second shoplifter is described as a short black female with a medium frame and long dark hair. She wore a neon orange button-down shirt, grey workout leggings and athletic shoes. Anyone with information is asked to contact Broward Sheriff’s Office Det. Juan Hernandez at 954-389-2010.
