Parolee Arrested For Shoplifting at Bloomfield Township Costco

Officers with the Bloomfield Township Police Department arrested a man with a lengthy criminal history for shoplifting at the Bloomfield Township Costco. 

Kenneth Camboni, of Eastpoint, is charged with felony retail fraud and absconding his parole, court records show. 

Police responded to a report of retail fraud in progress at the store, located at 2343 Telegraph Rd., on Dec. 30 and saw a man trying to pull away from Costco employees that tried to detain him outside, police reports said. 

The initial investigation showed that Camboni tried to return a blender that was taken off the shelf and was never paid for, reports said. Costco employees said he did the same thing on three other occasions. The total value of loss was estimated at about $1,500. 

Camboni remained at the Oakland County Jail this week on the absconder warrant. 

Jail records show he served more than three years of a maximum six-year sentence for larceny before receiving parole in Aug. 2011. He was wanted at the time of his recent arrest for being a parole absconder for not complying with conditions in May 2013.
