Deputies tracked him down in a white van with Florida plates, recovered $5,000 worth of stolen goods, and returned them to Ulta. Martinez now faces theft and tampering charges and is booked into the Livingston Parish Detention Center. This case underscores the growing threat of organized retail crime that crosses state lines and exploits store security gaps.
