Three women, dubbed the "Wheat Ridge Kardashians" by the Wheat Ridge Police Department, have been apprehended following an alleged theft of nearly $1,500 worth of makeup from an Ulta store in Colorado. Their alleged shoplifting spree extended across state lines, with police departments in Chicago and California also involved in the pursuit.

The Wheat Ridge Police Department initially engaged the public's assistance via a humorous Facebook post, comparing the suspects' appearance to the Kardashians and using a playful "missed connections" theme. The post detailed how the women filled their own bags with $1,443 worth of products before leaving the store without paying.

The department's witty social media approach continued in a follow-up post announcing the arrests. They revealed that the women are of Romanian origin and are believed to have been involved in similar incidents across the country. Two of the women were already in custody in California for related offenses.

The police department expressed gratitude for the public's assistance in identifying the suspects, acknowledging the "worldwide effort" that helped bring the case closer to resolution. The department’s humorous Facebook posts garnered significant positive attention and praise for their engaging and entertaining style.
