According to the Clarkstown Police Department, two individuals have been accused of shoplifting from the West Nyack Victoria’s Secret store in the Palisades Mall. The act allegedly occurred November 8 at approximately 8:50 p.m. The accused include a 21-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy. Both of the accused are reportedly from the Bronx. A loss prevention employee reportedly saw the two individuals stealing clothing from the store. The value of the goods allegedly stolen was around $1,371.
The two individuals were placed under arrest at the scene of the alleged act. They are now facing charges of fourth-degree grand larceny and fourth-degree possession of stolen goods, which are both felonies. The 21-year-old was let go on an appearance ticket, while the 15-year-old will have his case heard before the Clarkstown Juvenile Aid Bureau.
The outcome of these cases remains to be seen. A conviction could carry serious penalties.
