Edison Shoplifting
Charged with Shoplifting in Edison
One of the ways a person can get charged with shoplifting in Edison is by possessing an anti-shoplifting device in a place that sells merchandise. For example, consider a recent shoplifting case in Union County in which two women were charged with shoplifting for possession of an anti-shoplifting device. The two women entered a drug store carrying a large plastic bag lined with metal foil to prevent the security sensors from detecting the bag's contents. When a store employee approached the women, they dropped the bag and ran to the parking lot where they hid. They did not actually steal anything, but they were charged with shoplifting in Edison because they possessed an anti-shoplifting device where merchandise is sold.
