Yesterday, the San Francisco District Attorney's Office charged 22-year-old Jayla Glaser with thefts at local beauty and eyewear stores totaling over $56,000 in stolen goods. The thefts, carried out between August last year and February 2025, have led to several charges against Glaser, including one count of organized retail theft with intent to resell and multiple counts of burglary and grand theft. The SF District Attorney's Office detailed the accusations, noting that Glaser and an unnamed accomplice hit up Sephora and Veo Optics on Union Street, among other locations.
Allegations pin Glaser and her accomplice at the scene of five thefts. These incidents include a substantial heist on February 20, where the duo is accused of stealing more than $40,000 worth of luxury eyewear from Veo Optics. Court documents reveal that Glaser, at the time of the thefts, was under supervised release, a fact that hasn't appeared to deter her alleged spree. During her arraignment, which took place on March 24, Glaser pleaded not guilty to all charges. She remains in custody; prosecutors have successfully argued that she poses a public safety risk, a motion the court granted without prejudice.
The case is far from closed, though. Glaser's preliminary hearing is set for April 4, so there is ample opportunity for more details to be revealed. The District Attorney's office has been succinct, sharing the charges and a timeline of events but maintaining the importance of the ongoing investigation. As such, they encourage anyone with potentially helpful information to reach out to the San Francisco Police Department Tip Line or to text TIP411, citing promises of anonymity for those who choose to step forward.
