After a Southern California store was targeted by a shoplifter, the owner decided to feature the thief as the star of their latest clothing collection.
Surveillance cameras captured the male shoplifter entering Vardagen, located along Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, in broad daylight. He quickly snatches a sweatshirt and another item from a display rack before walking away.
The shop’s owner, decided to use the crime to his advantage by creating a new clothing collection called "Wanted,” featuring a caricature of the suspect front and center.
