Cops: Multi-state Shoplifting Duo Arrested in Ocean County, NJ
Cops in Ocean County say a pair of multi-state shoplifters from Brooklyn, NY, has been arrested.
Last month, officers with the Manchester Township Police Department responded to Rite Aid in their town for the report of two men who had shoplifted over $500 worth of cold medicine. Officers were able to obtain surveillance footage of the two and an investigation revealed that the duo, identified as 35-year-old Lasha Dekanoidze and 38-year-old Giorgi Adeishvili, were also allegedly involved in shoplifting incidents in Toms River and Springfield, NJ.
