What is it, Connecticut shoplifters? What makes you steal shrimp? It’s really not that expensive, but week after week this year I’ve seen people arrested for stealing bags of frozen shrimp.
Naugatuck was hit by shrimp thieves twice this month, a few weeks ago at the Stop & Shop on Rubber Avenue in Plymouth last month. Now the Naugatuck police have released these pictures of another suspected shrimp theft.

According to the NPD, on Wednesday March 24th, the woman with the black wig in the photo above entered Big Y at 85 Bridge Street at 3:30 p.m. She left the store without paying for $ 200 worth of goods, including shrimp, beer, laundry detergent, and other items.

The above photo is another photo that NPD and Cheshire PD believe is the same woman without a wig. This photo is from Cheshire, where the suspect believed to have committed a similar attack earlier this month. The suspect fled the Naugatuck incident in a white Nissan Versa with Pennsylvania Plate LCE2561.

The Big Y in Naugatuck is my main grocery store. I’ve shopped there since it opened. I can’t tell you how many bags of frozen shrimp I’ve bought from them in the last 20 years, but I can tell you how many times I’ve stolen shrimp, none.
If you spot the suspected wiged shrimp thief, call Officer Tortora of the NPD at 203-729-5222. 3162 or call the confidential NPD Tip Line at 203-720-1010
