NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA - A Stoughton woman whose job was to prevent shoplifting at the Macy’s inside the Emerald Square Mall, now stands accused of doing what she was hired to stop.

Anna L. Oliveira, 28, was arraigned Thursday on larceny charges according to the Sun Chronicle. She is accused of stealing $7,500 in merchandise and cash from the North Attleboro store.
