Cops: Stamford Woman with 4 Kids & a Baby Carriage Shoplifted $450

A 40-year-old Stamford woman with a baby carriage and children in tow — ages 2, 6, 7 and 8 — used the carriage to secret a ring and other items at Kohl’s store on Saturday, according to a report in The Hour, which cited Norwalk police.

Here’s what the police report (an accusation not proven in court) alleges, according to the article:

Shazia Zahid of 29 Nurney St., Stamford, was in the Connecticut Avenue store late Saturday afternoon when a store security employee saw her take a ring from the jewelry section and then several items of clothes, all of which were stashed in the baby carriage.

She then took several pairs of shoes, all in adult sizes, and put them on her daughters’ feet before trying to leave the store. Other shoes she put in boxes marked with lower prices. The store security employee followed her out of the store and called police, who found $452.51 in store merchandise on her that she hadn’t bought.

She was charged with sixth-degree larceny and three counts of risk of injury to a minor, then initially held on $5,000.
