Do Grocery Stores Pursue Shoplifters? Yes, New York State Police Searching for These Suspects
Do New York grocery store officials ever pursue action against shoplifters? Yes they do and this is one of those cases where 2 individuals allegedly stole hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise without paying for them. Now you can help our Troopers identify the suspects.
Take a look at their pictures and descriptions below. Do you recognize either individual? Combined, these 2 are suspected of stealing over $1000 in items form a local store.
I have heard of a 'No Pursuit Policy' at some New York stores. This is when retailers don't allow staff to physically confront, detain or chase shoplifters. This policy is intended to prevent potential liability and employee injuries. In other words let the law handle it.
On August 6, 2025, according to a post on the New York State Police Facebook page, officers responded to a report of a larceny at Price Chopper in Champlain, New York. They are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying two individuals involved in the incident.
