Two people are facing theft charges in Braintree, Massachusetts after authorities say they shoplifted $3,500 worth of sterling silver jewelry from a store in South Shore Plaza.
Brittany M. Sarni, 19, of Quincy and Peter L. Candelora, 34, of Plymouth, were arraigned Thursday in Quincy District Court.
The Patriot Ledger reported that security officers at Lord & Taylor watched the couple Wednesday afternoon as they transferred pieces of jewelry from one rack to another. Security report the tactic is commonly used by shoplifters so they can quickly grab the items as they are leaving the store.
The suspects left without the jewelry but returned several hours later. Security personnel report that Sarni concealed the jewelry in her sweater, rolled it up and placed it in her backpack, and exited the store. She met Candelora at a bus stop, where the two were stopped and the backpack was search by police.
Thirty-four pieces of jewelry were found, valued at about $3,450.
