Another shoplifter was caught by State Police trying to steal groceries from the Franklin Township Giant Eagle on Friday.

According to the police report, the store manager called officers because he had noticed that a man had placed items in his jacket without paying for them and attempted to leave the store. Police arrived on the scene and identified the male suspect, who had admitted to trying to steal the groceries valued at $27.22.

This is the second such recent incident of shoplifting at the Giant Eagle located at 289 Route 288 in Franklin Township, following an arrest in late January on the attempted theft of two energy drinks.
