Courtroom gavel

MIAMI — A former loss prevention worker at the Aventura Mall Nordstrom location received probation in January after being convicted in a six-figure heist from the department store.

Miami-Dade court records show Princess Ellis, 30, was found guilty of four felonies on Feb. 24. She’ll be on probation until 2031.

Aventura police had accused her of using her insider knowledge and unreturned keys to steal over $150,000 in designer jewelry and handbags from the store, working with a co-conspirator, Marc Joseph Durall.

Miami-Dade court records show that Durall, 34, entered into a pre-trial diversion program in the case in February.
