 Natick,
MA: Man held on Organized Retail Theft charges after Natick Mall theft
Natick Police arrested a Framingham man wanted on seven warrants after he was
taken part in an "organized retail theft" at the Natick Mall on Monday. Police
arrested Anthony Horne, 29, after the 4 p.m. theft at Ulta Beauty. Police went
to the mall after mall security said they had a theft suspect in the parking
lot. Police saw Horne pacing behind his car. When he saw the officers, he locked
himself in the back seat, but later got out. "He yelled at a female in the car,
'Don't (expletive) rat. Keep your mouth shut,' in an apparent attempt to
intimidate her from speaking to police," Prosecutor Susan Harris said. The
woman, who was not charged, told police they were heroin addicts. She said Horne
would go into a store and steal several items and then either she or Horne would
return the items to get cash. That day, he stole approximately $240 worth of
makeup from the store, Harris said. Police charged Horne, of 126 Beaver St.,
with larceny of property worth less than $250, intimidation of a witness,
disorderly conduct and conspiracy to commit a crime. Harris also asked the judge
to set $5,000 bail on the new case. She said Horne had 37 guilty convictions on
his record and has served time 16 separate times.
