Two women wearing matching brown reindeer hats stole thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise from Ulta Beauty in Silverdale, authorities said.

According to a post on the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, they entered the store around 4:40 p.m. on Tuesday.

“Surveillance cameras caught one person stuffing items into a bag,” the sheriff’s office stated. “Both walked out of the store without paying for any of the items.”

The stolen goods were valued at more than $3,000, authorities said.

“Store employees say they also spotted a man with them in the store on December 15,” authorities stated.

The sheriff’s office is trying to identify all three individuals.
