The Brooklyn district attorney's office has informed that a stage manager for the NBC show „Lipstick Jungle” had been charged with theft and was accused of stealing almost $30,000 in designer clothes from the production.

Friday, Arthur Moreira was arrested as a result of an operation that entailed police officers having tried to purchase several of the stolen clothes from the man at his apartment, the district attorney's office further revealed.

The theft was first discovered by employees of French designer Sylvia Toledano after some of the fashion items that the fashion house had lent to the show were found on eBay.

In a statement released, the office stated that among the sixteen items that had been stolen from Brooklyn-based Broadway Ventures, which owns the production and storage facilities used by the show, were sequined mosaic clutches, an Oscar de la Renta snakeskin bag and Gucci coats.

Authorities in Brooklyn are currently keeping Moreira in custody pending arraignment.

„Lipstick Jungle” revolves around the lives of Nico, Wendy, and Victory, who are three of New York’s 50 Most Powerful Women, according to New York Times magazine.

The show’s cast includes Brooke Shields (as Wendy Healy), Kim Raver (as Nico Reilly), Lindsay Price (as Victory Ford) and Andrew McCarthy (as Joe Bennett).
