A suspected shoplifting incident in Lakewood this week is under investigation after a woman allegedly fled a store without paying for merchandise and nearly struck the store owner with her vehicle while leaving the scene.
According to information provided to TLS, the woman was observed on store surveillance cameras allegedly shoplifting items from a local business. When confronted about payment, she reportedly told the store owner she was going to retrieve money from her vehicle.
Instead, the woman entered her car and fled the area. During the incident, she came close to striking the store owner with her vehicle as she drove away.
The Lakewood Police Department is investigating.

You’ve got to be really careful when confronting these (moderated). It’s a lot smarter and safer just to film and document the theft and immediately report it. Get the description and license plate, which he clearly did.
reparations? Why stoke this racial sentiment. You think a cultural environment where this kind of social poison is accepted will be a cultural environment safe for Jewish people?
Thanks to the governor that doesn’t let the stores provide bags. It gives so many people the opportunity to just pretend they’re shopping and walk out with their goods. Paid or not.
What’s there to “investigate?” They were given the make and model of the car (silver Honda Accord) and the plate number.
It takes five minutes to run the plate and another five to arrest her for attempted vehicular manslaughter.
She must have been hungry… Why steal when you can go to jail and get it for free…
she looks like she’s hungry most of the day/time
This vehicle has an outstanding ticket of $75.95 in NYC. On Jan/17/26 whoever was driving the vehicle, got a speeding camera ticket in a school zone. It was never paid yet.
I’m not sure why he didn’t punch that low life in the face and take back the merchandise??
Because Mikie Sherrill will never tolerate any violence against minorities who are actively breaking the law. White Americans last.
neeee ! ngiah
why blur the face?
be careful, not worth a confrontation for the $40 in stuff that was lifted…. vnishmartem me’od
Why is the criminal face blocked?
Why people don’t want to go to WORK
Bring your own bag policy definitely caused an increase in shoplifting. But before that, baggy pants, big hoodies and kangaroo pockets were great enablers as well. And these chalerei know that they can shoplift easily in Yiddishe stores because we are less vigilant and more trusting of our general clientele. By the way, you are not allowed to physically confront a shoplifter, though security can detain them until the police show up an hour later….
