Baby-Toting Sunglass Thief Turns Himself In: Newtown Township Police

NEWTOWN, PA — A Langhorne man captured on video using his babies' carseats to steal sunglasses from a Newtown business has turned himself into police, authorities said.

Benjamin Randall, 40, turned himself in Wednesday, two days after an arrest warrant was issued. Police said Randall stole $1,000 worth of sunglasses by concealing them in two baby car seats earlier this month at Design for Vision on West Road in Newtown.

Numerous tips were received by police after a surveillance video of the July 19 theft was released.

Store employees told police that Randall tried on glasses for 30 minutes, then left without paying. Shortly after he left the store, employees realized that several pairs of sunglasses were missing.

The video shows him concealing the items in the baby carseats.

He's charged with retail theft and receiving stolen property. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 14, court records show.
