The force says on eleven separate occasions, one suspect is believed to have stolen $28,000 worth of “high-end fragrances” from drugstores across the city.

In three other incidents, $3,000 worth of designer sunglasses were stolen from optical outlets.

On Thursday, police say they arrested 27-year-old Steven Mitchell Rogoski.

He is facing fourteen charges of theft under $5,000, along with a single charge of carrying a concealed weapon and failing to comply with a probation order.
