Police Seek Woman Who Stole From Smithtown Supermarket

Police are seeking the public’s help to identify and locate the woman responsible for stealing items from a Smithtown store last month.

Police say the woman was with two children when she entered ShopRite, located at 335 Nesconset Highway, on Jan. 17 and placed diapers, dryer sheets and detergent in a shopping cart.

The woman attempted to return the items at the customer service desk and when she was denied, the woman fled the store with the merchandise at about 3:15 p.m., police said. The items have a value of approximately $100.
