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.

After police knocked on the trunk multiple times, they opened it and found Yanagida inside lying on her back, according to the bodycam footage.
“Why are you hiding in the trunk?” an officer asked.
