Brick police have released surveillance video that they say captured a man who stole a woman’s pocketbook in the Brick Township Shop-Rite store, then charged hundreds of dollars to her credit card moments later.
The theft occurred Tuesday at about 3 p.m., said Sgt. Neal Pedersen. The woman’s pocketbook was removed from her shopping cart while she was shopping near the produce section, he said. Shortly after the incident, the victim was advised by her credit card company of possible fraudulent charges at area stores that were being attempted.
