(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 announced that 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 stores 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.

Following an investigation by the DA’s office retail theft investigators, officials reported that Beltram was identified as the suspect in similar crimes across other counties in California.

During the trial, authorities mentioned that a jury reviewed multiple pieces of evidence including 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 as before.”

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