Deputies arrested two women after they allegedly pepper-sprayed a dollar store employee while stealing laundry detergent and other toiletries, police said.

Kayla Raelynn Gularte, 21, and Kathryn Valencia Weaver, 22, were arrested in connection with the shoplifting-turned robbery, which took place about 1 p.m. Friday at a Dollar General store, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and county booking records.

They are also suspected in similar thefts in Fillmore and in Santa Barbara County earlier in the week.

The women showed up at the store and tried to leave without paying for items, including laundry detergent, women’s underwear, razors and other toiletries, Ventura County sheriff’s Sgt. Vince Alvarez said in a written statement. A store employee confronted them in the parking lot.

“When contacted, Gularte sprayed the employee in the face with pepper spray and assaulted him in order to escape,” Alvarez said. “Gularte ran to the parking lot where Weaver was waiting in a getaway car.”

Deputies spotted a car matching the description of the one used in the crime and pulled it over, he said. “A search of the car revealed nearly 100 items that appeared to be stolen. Deputies recovered the stolen goods from Dollar General, along with additional laundry soap, women’s undergarments, razors, and fragrances.”

The arrest highlights an emerging trend of laundry detergent thefts throughout the region, Alvarez explained. The household item is being used as a currency.

Gularte was booked on suspicion of robbery, conspiracy, illegal use of tear gas and child endangerment. Weaver was booked on suspicion of shoplifting and conspiracy, records show.
