• Deer Park Sephora Heist Ties 20-Year-Old to Thefts Across Four States (newsbreak.com) — A 20-year-old Baltimore man is being held without release after prosecutors linked him to a $16,000 Dior cosmetics theft at the Sephora in Deer Park Town Center and similar heists the same day in Schaumburg and Skokie. Investigators say license plate-reader hits and multi-state police cooperation tied the Deer Park case to an organized retail theft ring operating across several states, with a jury trial currently scheduled for mid-November.
