Robbery of Ulta Beauty store in Norridge captured on video by shopper
An Ulta Beauty store in Northern Illinois was robbed in broad daylight over the weekend and a stupefied customer caught the whole thing on video.
FOX 32 spoke with Finch about what he witnessed.
"They weren’t violent and they were basically tiptoeing in there and taking their time, it was outrageous," he said. "The employees there also didn't even seem discouraged about it, they were acting like (it was) an everyday thing."
The store where the robbery took place is located in Norridge, Illinois – about 15 miles northwest of Chicago. Norridge police were not available for comment.
"I just immediately pulled my camera, started filming, so outrageous I didn't feel any disregarding, and in doing it. I mean, it's in broad daylight, it’s 2:30 p.m.," said Finch.
A manager for the store refused to comment when reached by Fox News. She referred all questions to a media spokesperson.
"At Ulta Beauty, the safety of our associates and guests is our highest priority," Eileen Ziesemer, vice president of public relations for Ulta, told Fox News. "We are aware of the criminal activity at our Norridge store over the weekend and are fully cooperating with local police as they conduct the investigation."
