Dustin L Gilbert, age 32 of the 1400 block of Driftwood, Palatine, was arrested March 11 from the Mariano’s in Oak Lawn for stealing eight Gillette Fusion razor blades and 12 packages of Olio lotion.

The loss prevention agent for Mariano’s told police he saw Gilbert hide razor blades and lotion packages in his coat, according to an Oak Lawn police report.

The agent said Gilbert tried to leave the store with the items, but he stopped Gilbert and brought him to the loss prevention office.

Gilbert was brought to the Oak Lawn Police Department, where he verbally admitted taking the items and leaving without paying for them, police reported.

He was charged with retail theft and given an April 9 court date in Bridgeview.
