A gorgeous Dutch model was busted after swiping three chocolate bars and fish oil from a Whole Foods in Tribeca, authorities said Monday.
Wilhelmina model Roosmarijn de Kok, 19, appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court after allegedly slipping the sweets and a bottle of DHA fish oil into her bag around 3:20 p.m. July 18 and trying to leave the Greenwich Street store without paying.
She was arrested and given a desk-appearance ticket after an eagle-eye “store detective” witnessed the alleged shoplifting incident and grabbed her before she took off.
The security worker then “recovered the items, property which belonged to the store and for which the defendant had no receipt, from the bag,” according to a criminal complaint.
De Kok, who’s modeled for Urban Outfitters and appeared in Vogue Thailand, was charged with misdemeanor petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree.
But her lawyer, Sal Strazzullo, called the charges bogus, saying she forgot she still had the items in her bag after purchasing other things such as non-fat yogurt and protein bars.
“While she was about to leave the store … she remembered what she had in her bag. When she turned around, the store detectives were like, ‘We got you,’ ” he told The Post.
“The complaint states that she attempted to leave — it doesn’t state that she did leave. She’s totally innocent,” Strazzullo said.
At de Kok’s court appearance — during which she was scolded by a judge for folding her arms — prosecutors offered her an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, meaning the charges would be tossed if she stays out of trouble for a period of time.
But Strazzullo is fighting to get all charges dropped.
“I don’t think she should even have to take an ACD when she didn’t do anything wrong,” he said.
