Theft: After selecting multiple pieces of merchandise at a store in the 3800 block of Northlake Boulevard, a man decided to skip the payment portion of the shopping experience and pushed his cart out of one of the store’s exits. Seeing that the man had missed the key portion of the transaction, one of the store’s loss prevention associates tried to detain him. Instructed to follow him back inside to await police, the thief said he didn’t have to and began walking away, leaving the more than $700 worth of stolen merchandise behind. He then broke into a run, jumped into his van and raced away. With a description of the vehicle, police quickly located the van and attempted to pull it over. The perpetrator ignored the flashing lights and siren and tried to escape. A set of stop sticks were used to disable the vehicle on the southbound ramp to Interstate 95 from Northlake Boulevard. The man was arrested and eventually charged with retail theft and fleeing and eluding. He was taken to the county jail.
