Greenwich Woman Shoplifted $900 Burberry Handbag from Westport Store: Police

Westport, CT - A 50-year-old Greenwich woman, who allegedly shoplifted a $900 Burberry handbag from a Westport store in September 2013, was arrested on a warrant last week by Westport police.

Regina Murphy-Dixon was shopping at Roundabout, 606 Post Road in 2013 when she was captured on surveillance video taking the handbag into a dressing room with her, according to police.

"She then exits the dressing room and places her own, used handbag back where the new one was, and leaves the store," wrote Westport police in a statement. "Murphy-Dixon was contacted by police later that day. She denied swapping the bags, even though she was caught on video surveillance."

Soon after, police obtained a warrant for Murphy-Dixon, and on June 17, 2016, Westport authorities arrested her on a charge of Larceny 5th Degree; she was arrested while in the custody of Greenwich police.

She was released after posting a $1,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 23.
