Norridge police and area loss prevention personnel remail vigilant and busy as they continue to rack up shoplifting arrests before even the Christmas season really kicks off.
The following are recent arrests:
• Kwabena Jones, 35, of 5508 W. North Ave., Chicago, was arrested Oct. 15 at Best Buy, 4100A N. Harlem Ave., and charged with felony retail theft, criminal damage to property and possession of a theft shielding device. A customer told security officers Jones was using a screwdriver to open two cases containing hard drives.
Security guards told police they saw Jones conceal one hard drive behind some merchandise and head for the exits. Police said Jones was stopped with one hard drive in her bag, which was lined with aluminum foil. According to police reports, Jones damaged security equipment when she tried to run away. The foil-lined bag and the hard drive were placed into evidence. A felony charge was approved based on the dollar amount of the theft and on Jones’s history. At an Oct. 16 hearing in Rolling Meadows, bond for Jones was set at $40,000. She is scheduled to appear at 10:30 a.m. Nov. 14 in Room 108 of the Rolling Meadows Court House.
• Edward Rivera, 33, of 4106 N. Neenah Ave., Chicago, was arrested Oct. 13 at Kmart, 4201 N. Harlem Ave., and charged with retail theft. Store agents told police they saw Rivera conceal DVDs valued at $187.91 in his pocket and leave the store, making no attempt to pay for the merchandise. He was escorted to the loss-prevention office, where the DVDs were recovered, police said. Bond for Rivera was set at $1,000. He is slated for a Dec. 8 court appearance.
• Shivon Wyatt, 25, of 5428 W. Division St., Chicago, was arrested Oct. 13 at Foot Locker, 4184 N. Harlem Ave., and charged with attempted theft. A store clerk told police Wyatt tried to purchase a $150 gift card using an All Access Visa debit gift card with $25 embossed on it. Police said, when the clerk attempted to swipe the card, the last four digits on it did not match the last four digits on the screen. Earlier, Wyatt had bought a $150 gift card at Kids Foot Locker at the Brickyard using the card, police learned. A Visa representative told police the card had no value attached to it. Bond for Wyatt was set at $1,000. She is scheduled for a Nov. 25 court appearance.

• Shantisa Miller, 35, of 398 Ogden Falls, Oswego, was arrested Oct. 14 and charged with felony forgery. Police said Miller tried on Aug. 23 to cash a check for $792.73 from an Oak Brook firm at Midwest Bank, 8301 W. Lawrence Ave. A teller, who knew the check was flagged, obtained Miller’s identification and thumb print before Miller became nervous and fled. A warrant for her arrest was issued on Sept. 9. On Oct. 14, police learned Miller was being held at the DuPage County Jail on Norridge’s charges. At an Oct. 15 hearing in Rolling Meadows, bond for Miller was set at $20,000. She is scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. Nov. 5 in Room 108 of the Rolling Meadows Court House.
