A Colorado police department has been chasing a group of Romanian women dubbed “the Wheat Ridge Kardashians” in a hilarious Facebook post after the trio reportedly stole nearly $1,500 worth of makeup from a Colorado store.
The Wheat Ridge Police Department had previously posted photos of the suspects, comparing them to the Kardashians in a fake “missed connection” fashion before announcing the arrests.
“Backstory: We tracked this trio (via surveillance footage) on May 28 as they entered the Wheat Ridge Ulta to resupply,” the Wheat Ridge Police Department in west Denver wrote on Facebook in a post headlined: “MISSED CONNECTIONS UPDATE — WE MADE A LONG DISTANCE CONNECTION!”
“They put $1,443 worth of produce in their own bags (at least they were environmentally friendly with the theft), then bypassed the checkout counter and left with their freebies.”
“Like the Kardashians, our girls are turning out to be international,” the post continued. “And apparently they’re comfortable with an open relationship because they’ve had ‘dates’ with several other police departments across the country, most recently in Chicago and now California. But they’re from Romania.”

Police had initially posted photos of the women in a post that also drew attention for its sarcastic tone and play in Craigslist’s “Missed Connections” section. The alleged thieves allegedly entered the store looking like “the Wheat Ridge Kardashians.”
“You took the time to browse, choose your products carefully, and load them into bags,” the original post read. “Your grand total came to $1,443 – you girls have expensive taste! Which would have been absolutely fine, if you hadn’t forgotten to pass the register on your way out.”

The department said two of the women are in custody for “similar incidents” in California, so they “will have to wait our turn.”
“Love is nothing but patience,” the post read. “The Wheat Ridge Police Department and Detective Smith in particular thank you for the global effort to help us locate ‘those who escaped’.”
