Upstate women arrested following Kohl’s makeup theft

TOWN OF ULSTER – Two 33-year-old women from the Saratoga Springs area were arrested by state police in the Town of Ulster Thursday after they stole thousands of dollars of merchandise from a department store.  Both are facing felony charges following their attempted heist.

Ashley Vanetten of Ballston Spa and Cassandra Felice of Greenfield Center entered the Kohl’s store on Thursday and began putting merchandise in a rolling suitcase and shopping cart.  The items included a vacuum, cosmetics, and other high-value merchandise, according to a customer who observed the two women.

The customer says one of the women wheeled the suitcase and shopping cart out of the store and approached her vehicle as a state police unit rolled up behind her and took her into custody.  The customer said she had lost sight of the accomplice in the parking lot.

Vanetten is charged with felony grand larceny (greater than $1,000) and Felice is charged with felony grand larceny (greater than $3,000).

Mid Hudson News was able to obtain the arrest information from the New York State Police.
