Around 2:51 PM on January 21, 2025, Patrolman Robert Lenahan with the Parsippany Police Department responded to a report of a female shoplifter at Marshall’s located at 808 Route 46. He first made contact with a store employee and they walked over to the loss prevention office. The employee told him that he observed 2 females exit a vehicle with tinted windows that was driven by another male. They walked inside together and appeared to be concealing items. At some point, they were attempting to conceal about $200 worth of women’s underwear, but they ultimately did not shoplift those items. One of the females exited the store without shoplifting any items, while another female attempted to exit the store with baby products and ladies hosiery that were not paid for. The alleged shoplifter, later identified as 24-year-old Nayhely Medina-Carrasco, was escorted to the loss prevention office. While store employees were willing to let her go, she did not have any identification and she provided them with a fake address, so they had to call the police. The total value of items that Nayhely attempted to steal was determined to be $38.96. After Patrolman Christopher Yi arrived on scene, Nayhely was placed under arrest. Patrolman Roberto Maldonado then arrived on scene and assisted with translation. After the officers gathered additional information from store employees. Patrolman Lenahan transported her to the Parsippany Police Department for further processing. Nayhely was charged with shoplifting $38.96 worth of items under 2C:20-11B(1). ---------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).
