- Cody L. Dickinson, 30, of Concord, was arrested at 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 24, and charged with possession of prescription drugs without a prescription and theft. According an arrest report, officers were called to Sears at the Steeplegate Mall around 9:45 p.m. for a theft report. The reporting officer arrived at the scene while other officers had stopped a vehicle near the automotive bays of the store. The people involved in the stop included Dickinson, a woman, and an infant in the car. A loss prevention employee at the store reported that he allegedly saw a jacket on top of a baby carriage at one point while the couple visited but after the carriage reappeared from behind a display, the jacket was allegedly missing. After the couple left the area, the employee checked the area and couldn’t find the jacket. The couple later reportedly left the store via the merchandise pickup area without paying for anything. Two loss prevention officers attempted to stop the couple but they continued to walk away from the employees. Police were called and arrived at the scene, stopping the couple. Employees later allegedly found numerous tags removed from baby items in an area where the couple were allegedly seen shopping. Police allegedly found baby items “tucked away in the carriage.” The items included a Snozu women’s jacket, four long sleeve body suits by Carter’s for an 18-month old, a flannel hoodie, and infant jeans, all valued at around $141.
