Trio charged in shoplifting at three stores on Route 18

EAST BRUNSWICK - Police nabbed three suspects on Route 18 last week after they allegedly shoplifted at Linens 'N Things.

Police arrested Khyon Brandon, 33, Ann L. Williams 34, and Naima R. Scott, 31, all of Philadelphia, Pa., on charges of being in possession of stolen property on April 24.

Police were called to the Route 18 store at 4:10 p.m. on a report that a male and two females had left the store with a shopping cart loaded with unpaid merchandise. The group fled the area in a newer model, black Jeep Cherokee, with the male driving, police were told.

The information was broadcast over the police radio, alerting patrols to be on the lookout for the vehicle and the three suspects. A short time later, Patrolman Matt Petrillo observed the vehicle traveling on Route 18 south near the Brunswick Square Mall and conducted a motor vehicle stop.

According to police, all of the property from the shoplifting at Linens 'N Things was recovered from the vehicle, as well as property allegedly stolen from The Children's Place and Gymboree stores. The total amount of recovered stolen property was valued at an excess of $5,700, police said.

Perillo placed the three suspects under arrest and brought them back to headquarters.

Brandon and Williams were then transported to the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center, North Brunswick, and held in lieu of $15,000 bail. Scott, who was found to be a wanted person out of Delaware and had an additional charge of being a fugitive from justice signed against her, was also held in lieu of $15,000 bail.
