East Brunswick Police Ask For Public's Help Identifying Men

East Brunswick police are asking for the public’s help in their search for two men who they say stole about $75 worth of clothing from the Macy’s Department Store in Brunswick Square Mall.

Police say the men shoplifted the clothing around 8:40 p.m. Feb. 19, but detectives were recently able to obtain video surveillance of the two young men.

The men then tried to leave the store through a back door, police said. When the store’s loss prevention officer confronted one of the suspects, a struggle ensued and the security guard suffered a sprained knee, police said.

Police say the man who wore a gray and black jacket acted as a lookout, while his accomplice tried to remove security tags from the clothing and hide items in his jacket.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Dan Unkel at 732-390-6990.
