Michelle Mack, a 54-year-old woman from Bonsall, California, was sentenced to five years and four months in state prison in January 2025 for orchestrating a nationwide retail theft ring that stole approximately $7.8 million in beauty products from retailers like Ulta and Sephora. ​

Operating from her luxury estate, Mack recruited over a dozen young women to shoplift high-demand cosmetics from stores across 21 California counties and other states.
