Court documents allege that the couple pulled off their scheme in Minnesota, New York, Colorado, and Utah and that they varied their tactics. Sometimes they would work together to distract store employees or block the view of store security cameras.
In a statement, Tristen Shields, Lululemon's vice president of asset protection, said, "This outcome continues to underscore our ongoing collaboration with law enforcement and our investments in advanced technology, team training and investigative capabilities to combat retail crime and hold offenders accountable."
According to court documents, they were arrested when Jadion and an unnamed accomplice stole $5,000 worth of goods from a Lululemon store in Roseville, Minn. Police searched their hotel room and found $50,000 worth of Lululemon products packed in twelve suitcases.
Lululemon has struggled with targeted organized theft and its prevention. Last summer, Entrepreneur reported on an incident where two Lululemon employees were fired after intervening in a robbery attempt.
