Officer M. Martino and Officer A. Mazzo 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 68-year-old female from River Vale, NJ, was taken into custody, processed and charged on a complaint summons for Shoplifting (DP). The individual was released on her own recognizance with a pending court appearance date in the Emerson Municipal Court.
