Buffalo, N.Y. (WBEN) - Two women from Monroe County admit to stealing some $170,000 in merchandise from a number of Ulta Beauty stores in Erie County. The two committed the thefts over a five-month period.

24-year-old Kashmonay Holley and 23-year-old Nahzaire Murray, both of Rochester, pleaded guilty in State Supreme Court to a count each of grand larceny.


Between March and August of this year, the pair admitted to stealing merchandise from various Ulta locations. Holley admitted to stealing merchandise valued at approximately $73,397, while Murray admitted to stealing approximately $93,043 in merchandise during the same time period.

Holley and Murray, who are suspected of committing similar crimes in neighboring counties, signed Confessions of Judgment to pay full restitution to the retailer.

Murray is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday, Dec. 21 at 9:30 a.m. EST, while Holley is scheduled to be sentenced the following day at 9:30 a.m. EST. Both defendants, who face a maximum of 15 years in prison, were remanded pending sentence.

"Retail theft is financially devastating for stores, especially our small business owners. In addition to the negative economic impact for local businesses and our community, I am deeply concerned about the serious threat that thieves pose to the safety of employees and customers. I want the residents of Erie County to know that retail crime with not be tolerated and I am committed to holding shoplifters, particularly repeat offenders, accountable," said Erie County District Attorney John Flynn in a statement.
