Calif. shoplifter accused of swiping $850 in Lululemon, Sephora items hides from cops in trunk of her Tesla: bodycam

A California woman allegedly swiped products from Sephora and Lululemon — and then jumped into the trunk of her Tesla in a failed bid to hide from cops last week, according to surreal bodycam footage.

Alleged thief Emely Yanagida claimed she scurried into the back of the luxe car on Wednesday because she was “scared” after Irving police officers popped the trunk and slapped handcuffs on her, video released by the department shows.

Yanagida, 35, grabbed about $600 worth of Sephora products and left the beauty product store despite loss prevention attempting to stop her around 3 p.m., authorities alleged.

When cops reached the scene, a citizen told them the suspect got into a white Tesla and then crawled into the trunk.

Trio of shoplifters with nearly 300 combined arrests evade justice through NYC’s revolving door of crime: ‘Are we surprised?’

After police knocked on the trunk multiple times, they opened it and found Yanagida inside lying on her back, according to the bodycam footage.

“Because I’m scared,” the San Marcos resident replied.

When officers asked what she was afraid of, she claimed, “Because you guys came after me.”

The cop then asked “For what,” to which she replied, “For accusing me of taking something.”

She also claimed she came with the Lululemon products — worth $250 — found in her purse, according to the footage.

Yanagida was charged with shoplifting, possessing burglary tools and resisting arrest, police said.
