WESTPORT–If the police felt a sense of déjà vu when they traveled to the Bergen County, N.J., Jail to pick a New York City man accused of stealing from Ulta Beauty in town, it was justified.
Police picked up Jefferson Reyes-Castro, 26, on April 15, almost exactly a year after town police had driven to the same jail to collect him in connection with the same incident. On April 30, 2025, they brought him back from the New Jersey facility on a warrant charging him with the theft from the store at 1365 Post Road East, Westport, police said at the time.
Reyes-Castro was charged in connection with a Feb. 21, 2024, incident when two suspects who had been seen fleeing the store with “various items” they had not paid for.
After his first trip from Bergen, Reyes-Castro was charged with third-degree larceny and third-degree conspiracy to commit larceny, court records show.
After he allegedly skipped a court date on July 23, 2025, a charge of first-degree failure to appear, a felony, was added, Westport police said.
He also faces three charges from a June 7, 2025 incident in Stamford, according to court records. Those charges are third-degree robbery, third-degree larceny and third-degree conspiracy to commit larceny, all felonies.
Reyes-Castro is being held on $100,000 bail for each case and is due in Superior Court in Stamford on all charges on June 18, according to court records.
