An incident reportedly occurred at a business on Lennox Street, Richmond, around 3:30 PM on September 22.

The woman allegedly entered the establishment, concealed four wigs inside her jacket and a bag, and exited the store, where a man was waiting for her outside.

The wigs, intended for donation to children battling cancer in hospitals, were placed in the reception area before being taken.

Police carried out a warrant at a residence in Clayton South yesterday morning, leading to the arrest of a 45-year-old woman.

She now faces charges of theft and violating bail conditions.

The woman is scheduled to appear in court on October 30.

The investigation is ongoing.
