Banned Trumbull Mall Patrons Arrested for Shoplifting

Trumbull Police arrested two shoplifters who were previously banned from the mall.

Mall security and police were summoned to Victoria’s Secret on Oct. 20 and waited in an employee access corridor commonly used by shoplifters to escape, police said.

Willaneshia Beverly, 25, of Stamford was allegedly in possession of about $500 in items and Dorothy Smith, 25, of Bridgeport had about $550 in items.

Beverly had a lifetime ban from the mall and Smith had a two-year ban that started in April for previous incidents, police said.

Both were charged with fifth-degree larceny and second-degree criminal trespass.
