Alleged Baby-Formula Thief Sought by Police

Police seek the public's help in identifying a man who allegedly shoplifted 18 cans of baby formula from ShopRite on Blackwood-Clementon Road. 

The incident happened around 6 p.m. April 12. Police said a medium-skinned black man with facial hair, wearing a dark T-shirt and blue pants with a yellow stripe pulled into the ShopRite parking lot in a late 1990s green four-door Ford Explorer. After parking on the far side of the lot, the man entered the store through the exit doors. He picked up a blue hand basket and went to the aisle containing baby items, where he loaded 18 cans of baby formula valued at $275.22 into the cart. The man then left through the store's entrance hallway, ran across the parking lot and drove out the main entrance, making a left onto Blackwood-Clementon Road, police said. 

Store security told police that the same person, along with another man, had committed a similar theft at ShopRite in Berlin the week before.
