Shoplifter caught

Police said a shoplifter used a green taxi as a getaway car after he was chased out of a Front Street shop for stealing two suede and leather handbags.

On Saturday, the suspected shoplifter was seen running out of A.S. Cooper?s with the handbags at 11.50 a.m.

?The man was pursued by staff; however, he was able to make good his escape by getting in a green taxi parked in the area which sped off,? Police said.

But at 2.20 p.m that day Police arrested a 42-year-old St. George?s man at Ballast Point, St. George?s under suspicion of shoplifting. Police inquiries into this incident were underway.
