Husband and wife team charged with theft of video games http://www.privateofficer.com

VINELAND NJ April 13 2008– A Millville couple were charged with shoplifting 38 video games valued at more than $1,000 at Kmart on South Delsea Drive after loss prevention agents stopped them on the way out of the store.
Ramon Mercado, 29, and Danielle Mercado, 28, of the 200 block of East Broad Street, were released on summonses pending court action.
A security officer saw the suspects on a surveillance camera around 2 p.m. Thursday and told police she recognized them as being involved in another shoplifting incident around the same time the previous day, police said. The woman opened game packages, took out the disks and gave them to her husband, who put them in his coat pocket, police said. The suspects are accused of taking five disks valued at $99.95 on Wednesday and 33 games Thursday valued at $915.56.
The couple’s four children — ages 11, 4, 3 and 1 — were with them along with a 32-year-old Millville woman who took custody of the children during the arrest, police said.
