http://www.privateofficer.com/ Authorities said that they have arrested a shoplifting suspect here and he has been charged with being in possession of a stolen vehicle, police said Saturday.
Joseph N. Costantino, 29, no permanent address, was charged with robbery, receiving stolen property and possession of a hypodermic needle. He was committed to the Camden County Correctional Facility, Camden, in lieu of $50,000 bail.
Costantino was arrested Friday night.
Police were summoned at about 7:20 p.m. to the ShopRite on Blackwood-Clementon Road for a report of a man attempting to steal a quantity of razor blades.
The suspect, identified as Costantino, struggled and resisted the loss prevention officer at the store when he was stopped leaving with the unpaid merchandise.
Store security personnel were able to get him into custody and he was arrested for felony theft.
Police said Costantino drove to the ShopRite in a 1997 Nissan Maxima that had been stolen several days earlier from a Lindenwold location. Inside the vehicle were items stolen from a shoplifting at another location and a hypodermic needle, police said.
