Shopping spree
Police arrested a woman who they say attempted to steal various items from a Kings Plaza store on July 8 — and then swung at two other women who tried to stop her.
The victims told police they witnessed the suspect take eight articles of clothing — among other items — from the store near Avenue U at 9:30 pm, and attempted to leave without paying for them.
The two victims said they tried to stop the alleged thief, but the suspect hit one woman in the face and the other on the body, resulting in lacerations on both women.
The suspect dropped the items at the scene before fleeing.
