Theft
1000 block of Bustleton Pk, Feasterville
Monday, Sept. 17, 2012
Giant Food Store's loss prevention officers reported to officers a retail theft that happened the week before. The one complainant said that they recently discovered that men's razors were stolen from the shelf. They discovered that the surveillance camera that covers where the men's razors are located had been moved to point in a different direction. After checking surveillance video, it showed a man moving the camera Sept. 7. The video shows the man, who was identified as a 42 year old from Trevose, walking down the health and beauty section looking around and then walking over to and climbing ontop of a refrigerator unit. He then moved the camera to point away from the razor section. The subject was then seen leaving the aisle and finishing shopping with a female pushing a cart with a child in it.

He is then seen placing multiple packs of razors inside of his shirt. He then walked around the store and left without making a purchase.

One of the complainants who was a part of the investigation was able to observe the subject's vehicle in the video. She told police that when she was at Wawa, route: {:controller=>"listings", :action=>"show", :id=>"wawa-food-market-26"} --> on Brownsville Road, she observed the subject leaving the convenience store and saw the red Mercury in the parking lot.

The vehicle's registration came back to the male subject out of Levittown. A check of police records showed the two living in the
