Police are investigating the theft of thousands of dollars’ worth of colognes from a Morvant boutique on Monday.

Around 2:30 p.m., a man entered Elegant Designs, also known as Lethal Addiction, located along the Eastern Main Road opposite the Play Whe machine near Morvant Junction. According to reports, a 16-year-old employee was inside when the suspect asked to try on a T-shirt. She handed him one to use in the stockroom and later received it back when he claimed it was too small, before leaving the store.

When the owner closed the boutique around 5 p.m., she discovered that 15 boxes of assorted colognes valued at approximately $7,500 were missing from the stockroom shelves and a display table. She reported the matter to Morvant Police.
