A Glassboro couple was arrested and charged with shoplifting in the township after police received tips from social media, authorities said Tuesday.
Kristopher Green, 26, and Kimberly Wilmore, 23, both of the unit block of Pennsylvania Ave., were charged with shoplifting.
The couple is accused of stealing four video-game systems, worth $1,444, from the Kmart on Blackwood-Clementon Road on April 1. Police say Green unlocked a case the game systems were in, removed them from boxes and walked out of the store with coats on top of them in a cart.
