(KTXL) A Placer County District Attorney’s Office has secured a 10-year sentence for a statewide Lululemon theft.

On July 17, the DA’s office said Judge Michael Jones sentenced Champagne Cain Beltram, 38, to 10 years in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for organized retail theft, grand theft and burglary from Lululemon’s across the state.

Over the 10 days, Beltram stole nearly $30,000 in pants from multiple Lululemon stores, PCDAO said.

“Our storefronts are for the citizens of Placer County to shop, gather and feel safe – not for the defendant’s selfish criminal behavior. His actions erode the quality of life and sense of well-being of residents across the state. It needs to stop,” stated Supervising DDA Dan Wesp.

After an investigation through the DA’s office retail theft investigators, officials said Beltram was identified as the suspect in similar crimes across other counties in California.

During the trial, authorities stated that a jury heard multiple evidence ranging from cell phone data, forensic evidence and even an expert on Croc footwear to identify the thief’s shoes.

PCDAO said after four days, a Placer County jury convicted Beltram of his crimes.

“The judge acknowledged that residents in California have decided they have had enough of these organized and unfettered (retail theft) campaigns with individuals taking anything they want, the DA’s office said in a statement. “The judge added that it seems like criminals are not keeping up with the political landscape – the people have spoken, and yet those committing crimes still want the same lenience from before.”

PCDAO said this conviction is based on the work of the PCDAO Retail Theft Program, which was launched in 2024.
