The Madison Police Department issued the following statement.
On February 14, 2025 at approximately 1:00PM Madison police officers responded to ULTA Beauty located at 175 Grandview Blvd in regards to three individuals that shoplifted from the store and left in a silver BMW south bound on Grandview Blvd. A Madison patrol officer located the vehicle on Madison Avenue near the West Frontage Road where a traffic stop was conducted on the suspect vehicle. The silver BMW immediately pulled over where all three suspects were taken into custody without incident. Officers on scene recovered all merchandise that was stolen from ULTA where it was then documented and returned to the store after ULTA management pressed charges on all three suspects involved. The total value of the items stolen was valued at $2,276.00. Officers were also able to recover several bags of stolen merchandise that could be possibly linked to shopliftings in other municipalities in Mississippi as well as other states. Investigators with the Madison Police Department are currently working to identify those jurisdictions and additional charges are possible through those agencies. The suspects are identified as Randolph Joseph (age 25), Shira Thompson (age 41), and Joseph Mitchell (age 60), all of Hollywood, FL. All three suspects are being charged with Felony Shoplifting and Felony Conspiracy to Commit a Crime. Thompson also has a hold placed on her by Henry County, GA for Felony Shoplifting. Joseph, Thompson, and Mitchell will be housed at the Madison County Detention Center as they await their initial appearance in the City of Madison Municipal Court. All three suspects case will be presented to the Madison County Grand Jury by District Attorney John ‘Bubba’ Bramlett.![]() |

I wonder if they’ve ever had a job in their life.
All from Hollywood Florida, just targeting Madison Ms. This isn’t the first time an out of state group has targeted the area. What’s up with that?
In their defense they needed some cosmetics!
All of them look dumb as dirt. Lock 'em up and throw away the key.
Well, it's getting close to mowing time, maybe they can trim the median on I-55 from County Line to the Hwy 16 exit. Shoplifting won't be so much fun after spending July on a weedeater.
Glad they were arrested prior to using the beauty products - they all look like they’ve been whupped with a ugly stick!
Can't make the payments on the silver BMW?
Maybe it's past time to trade for a clapped out Nissan and no be committing crimes to ahhh never mind!
No blessings in Madison, fools.
Ha! These three rocket surgeons walking into the Madison Ulta store just scream - shoplifters!!
This is not the first time this Ulta store has been targeted by out of state shoplifters.
9:46 most likely just hitting targets with easy access to the interstate for a quick getaway is my guess
Shoplifting rings travel the interstates and steal from the same stores in different areas, Madison takes shoplifting serious so the stores take it serious too.
There are several 'low rent' storefronts in that area that never should have been allowed in town. And it's got nothing to do with proximity to the interstate.
This used to be a very safe area to shop
It still is. At least this wasn’t an armed robbery. I’m not sure Ulta really qualifies a low rent business. Someone clearly does not shop for cosmetics.
Low Rent has nothing to do with the cost of the products therein. This is the third time black 'tourists' have hit this same store. To what do you attribute that, genius? Usually one compliant, black, female employee either in the back or at the counter. No white adult male customers in the place, ever.
Just another Sally Beauty Supply on steroids with three-inch eyelashes.
How would having "white adult male customers in the place" in Ulta deter shoplifting?
I now I don't know how to reconcile the number of white men I saw shopping in Walmart the same day I watched a man boldly steal about $100 in batteries around Christmas. He must not know the rules.
@12:43 What the hell is a "rocket srgeon" ?
They look sad. I wonder if they feel bad about stealing or if they just feel bad because they got caught.
12:10. The employees reported the theft. It wasn’t an employee who facilitated anything. I know one of the folks who works in store and briefly interacted with one of the thieves when he asked her a question. She was unaware of theft until later. And yes, there are white make customers in the place. Most of the shoppers are women, of course, but white men do shop there. Stop making up “facts.” As far as tourist thieves, they target cosmetic stores near interstate highways. They aren’t hard to find on Google Maps. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. You definitely aren’t in the genius category, though.
