Officer C. Murphy responded and spoke with loss prevention from a local supermarket who reported that a female suspect they had detained had bypassed all points of sale and proceeded to exit the store with approximately $69 worth of merchandise. The 53-year-old female from Demarest, NJ, was placed under arrest, charged on complaint summons for Shoplifting (DP), and was released on her own recognizance pending a court appearance date.
