A 45-year-old Minneapolis man is facing one felony count of aggravated theft after a string of thefts at the Victoria's Secret in Uptown, where he allegedly took over $2,000 in bras, underwear and perfume, the Minnesota Daily reported.
According to the criminal complaint, the manager of the Hennepin Avenue store called police on Thursday to report that a man had just stolen a large number of bras from the store, Fox 9 said.
