Charges:Burglary (F), Battery (m)
Boise Police responded to a report of a theft
at a retail store on the 400 block of North Milwaukee Street
yesterday, February 23rd, at approximately 2:00 p.m. Store
employees tell police that they witnessed the suspect conceal items
and then leave the store without paying for them. The suspect then
entered the store a second time and selected more merchandise
before he attempted to leave the store again. Store employees
stopped the suspect outside the store and attempted to stop him
from leaving. During the struggle witnesses tell police the suspect
twisted one of the employees arms and shoved her to the ground
resulting in the battery charge. Officers believe the suspect
entered the store with the intent to commit the theft resulting in
the burglary charge. The suspect was transported to the Ada County
Jail and booked on the above listed charges.
The Boise Police Department has developed a
positive, productive working relationship with loss prevention
agents from many local retail stores, large and small, local and
national chains. The goal is to work with retailers to reduce theft
and fraud, crimes that can impact consumer prices.
