A shoplifter walked out of Stop & Shop with 18 containers of baby formula, valued at $683.82 on Oct. 7. Surveillance video showed the man covering his face as he entered the store. He walked over to the baby formula aisle and put the containers in a shopping bag. He left without paying form them.

Kitchen appliances valued at $1,225 were reported stolen from an unoccupied residence on Cora Bergen Boulevard. The appliances were delivered on Sept. 15 and discovered missing on Oct. 5. There were no signs of forced entry.

A thief stole an Amazon package containing a vacuum cleaner from the front porch of a Tuxford Court home on Oct. 4. The package was delivered at 7 a.m. and discovered missing at noon. The vacuum cleaner was valued at $549.99.

A Blackwell Road resident reported that she was the victim of credit card theft, which was discovered when she attempted to use her debit card to pay for groceries on Oct. 3. The debit card was declined for insufficient funds. Her bank confirmed that her Social Security benefits had been deposited, but the money was used to make an unauthorized online purchase at Best Buy for $846.94. The bank and the Social Security Administration were advised of the fraudulent transaction.
