This footage covers a police response to a retail theft incident that occurred on the morning of August 20, 2024, in West New York, New Jersey. Dispatch received a call just after 10:00 AM regarding a suspicious individual who had reportedly shoplifted baked goods and cookies from a local business. The suspect, described as wearing a black shirt, grey pants, and carrying a black book bag, was located by responding units shortly after heading north on Kennedy Boulevard. The encounter escalated, resulting in the individual being charged with both shoplifting and obstruction. During processing, law enforcement also confirmed the suspect had a prior outstanding warrant out of Hoboken. The individual was taken into custody, placed in a holding cell, and subsequently transported to a hospital for evaluation. These charges are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. An arrest is not a finding of guilt: that’s something for a court to decide. #news #bodycam #newjersey
