Officer O. Lennon, Officer M. Martino and Sgt. R. Velez were dispatched to a local supermarket on the report of a detained shoplifter. The investigating officers determined that the suspect bypassed all points of sales without paying and exited into the parking lot with the merchandise. The suspect, a 66-year-old female from Hillsdale, NJ, was taken into custody, charged on a complaint summons for Shoplifting (4th deg.). The individual was released on her own recognizance with a pending court appearance date in the Central Judicial Processing (CJP) Court in Hackensack.
