Shoplifter at Costco; Larceny at Brother Rice High School

Officers with the Bloomfield Township Police Department arrested a woman that tried to steal six bottles of Patron Tequila and a bottle of Tylenol from Costco last week. Officers responded to a retail fraud report from store security on Sept. 8 and confronted the woman, who allegedly concealed the items and walked out of the store without paying for the merchandise, valued at $327, reports said. 

Authorities said the woman has multiple prior retail fraud convictions on her record, but withheld her identity pending a new warrant from the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office.

Larcenies 

• A student at Brother Rice High School, 7101 Lahser Rd., told police that someone stole his I-Phone from his backpack sometime during the day while school was in session last week. The victim tracked his phone to the area of 8 Mile and Evergreen roads in Detroit. The investigation is ongoing.
• Officers responded to the 400 Block of Kendry on Sept. 9 for a larceny from auto report and learned someone smashed out the driver’s side window of a vehicle parked outside. A number of items, including a DVD player, DVD’s and loose change were missing. There were no witnesses and no suspect information was available.
• An employee of Parpas America reported a company van was stolen sometime over Labor Day weekend. Both sets of keys to the blue 2005 Dodge Caravan were still in the office, reports said. Police entered the vehicle into the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN) and continue to investigate.  There were no witnesses.

The department also released photos of several recent larceny suspects last week in what appear to be unrelated incidents, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the department at 248-433-7755.
