$100K Of Jewelry Stolen From Livingston Mall, Cops Chase Down 4 Juveniles: Police

LIVINGSTON, NJ — A group of four juveniles allegedly stole nearly $100,000 worth of items from a Macy’s store at the Livingston Mall last week, police say.

Police responded to the Macy’s at 11:17 p.m. on Wednesday after getting a report about multiple burglar alarms going off in the store, including a jewelry display case.

Four suspects fled the scene when police arrived. The suspects – all minors – were apprehended after a brief foot chase, authorities said.

Police found several pieces of jewelry in their possession, which the store’s loss prevention department identified as belonging to Macy’s.

The four suspects were processed and released pending juvenile charges, authorities said.

Macy’s recently announced that it will be closing its store at the Livingston Mall. The national retailer is the latest tenant to bid the ailing shopping center farewell; layoffs are planned for its workers, according to a state WARN notice.
