Another shoplifting incident was reported Wednesday night at the Joeten Hafa Adai Shopping Center in Garapan, according to the Department of Public Safety.<\/p>\n
DPS acting public information officer Captain Pete C. Muna disclosed in a statement yesterday that the male suspect, 22-year-old Allyson E. Cruz, was arrested shortly after 11pm after he reportedly stole a silver bracelet worth $4.<\/p>\n
According to Muna, a security guard at the establishment said that about 9:54pm, Cruz was at the Saipan Souvenir section of the store when he allegedly took the item from a rack and looked at it. The suspect then reportedly removed the price tag from the item and placed the bracelet on his left wrist.<\/p>\n
Police report indicated that the suspect was trying to lock the bracelet on his wrist when a friend approached and locked it for him.<\/p>\n
Further, the report showed that the suspect proceeded to the cosmetics and sunglasses section.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this time, he placed the bracelet price tag into his left front pocket of his pants,\u201d Muna said. \u201cAt about 10:20pm, the suspect went to the cashier and paid for two drinks and a bag of chips, and then walked out of the store.\u201d<\/p>\n
Muna said the security guard stopped the suspect outside and verified his receipt to the items he purchased, but the bracelet was reportedly not included in the receipt.<\/p>\n
The incident was immediately reported to the police, resulting on the suspect being placed under arrest and taken into custody at about 11:01pm.<\/p>\n
It was the third shoplifting incident at the establishment in less than two weeks. On July 18, two individuals were nabbed for separate shoplifting incidents as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
