ST. LOUIS – A Richmond Heights man is facing felony charges after stealing thousands of dollars of merchandise from a Sunglasses Hut, according to court records.
Arnell Deshaun Love Jr. is charged with two counts of stealing $750 or more.
A probable cause statement says Love went to the St. Louis Galleria on March 29 and stole around $4,000 of sunglasses, then returned on April 1 and stole an additional $2,150 worth of sunglasses.
Mall security were able to review footage and determine a suspect. Police made contact with Love a few days later on April 5 outside the mall and confronted him.
Love admitted to the theft at the store and that he sold the sunglasses on Facebook Marketplace.
His bond is set at $25,000 cash-only as he was on probation for second-degree robbery during the theft. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 15.
