Police in Bucks County are seeking help from the public to identify the individuals believed to be involved in, at least, six robberies that targeted fragrances and beauty supplies at a Kohl's store in Bensalem.

In the latest heist, police are looking to identify four people who, officials said, stole about $700 worth of fragrances from the store, located along the 2300 block of Street Road at about 8 p.m. on March 6.

Police are looking to identify four suspects that they have described at a man with a large build, who was wearing a black hat and jacket at the time of the incident, along with a second man who was said to have a slim build and short dark hair, and was wearing a dark shirt with a logo and dark pants when the crime allegedly occurred.

Two women are also sought in this incident and officials said one had long blonde hair and was wearing a black jacket and jeans during the incident while the second woman was described as wearing a black puffy coat and jeans in surveillance footage.

However, this is only the most recent instance of fragrances being targeted by thieves at this store.

Police officials in Bensalem said that crimes targeting fragrances and beauty items, this year, stretch back to at least Jan. 14, when, they say, the same store was targeted by two women who, allegedly, stole more than $300 worth of fragrances. These women, officials said, are believed to have fled the store in a gray SUV, possibly a Ford Edge after the incident.

Just over a week later, on Jan. 23, police said the store was hit again when three men stole "selected various items, including fragrance items," and fled without paying for them at about 9:30 p.m.

In this case, police said, the men fled in a silver sedan, likely a Nissan Versa.

Then, in February, the same store was targeted at least three times, starting on Feb. 12.

In that case, police have identified the man, but officials have not provided information to detail if he had yet been arrested or charged in this case.
