64-year-old Brett Forrest stole merchandise from Nordstrom and Macy’s on Hillsboro Pike on March 10th. Patrick Page, a loss prevention associate, alerted the authorities, advising them that he observed Forrest grab two pairs of sunglasses, valued at $293, and put them in his pocket before leaving the store. Page provided officers with footage of the incident. Page detained Forrest and searched him, locating additional merchandise stolen from Nordstrom with the price tags still on them. Page then notified Nordstrom’s loss prevention associate, Gabriel Ertmer, who went over to obtain the items with price tags valued at $592. Detectives ran his information and found that he had a valid outstanding warrant out of Sarasota County, Florida, with full extradition, so officers contacted them and confirmed it. Forrest was taken into custody for being a fugitive from justice and two counts of theft of merchandise.
