Shoplifter Dumps Breast Pumps, Flees New Jersey Store: Police

A man caught on camera tried to swipe about $1,000 worth of breast pumps from an Ocean County store, said police in South Jersey.

Brick Township Police responded to the Burlington Coat Factory along Brick Boulevard on Dec. 1 after being alerted to a case of attempted shoplifting.

Employees told investigators that a man left the department store without paying for three Media Freestyle Breast Pumps valued at $1,000, said police.

Once outside the store, the man dumped the pumps -- for an undisclosed reason -- and fled on foot, possibly getting into a white SUV, said investigators.

Police said the same man could be responsible for a similar breast pump heist from a Burlington Coat Factory in Freehold, New Jersey.

Anyone who recognizes the man from surveillance video is asked to contact Detective Daniel Waleski at 732-262-1170 or the Brick Township Police Department at 732-262-1100.
