A woman was arrested in the act on the night of last Saturday (5) after trying to steal 15 Barbie dolls from a Ri Happy store at Plaza Shopping, in the downtown area of Niterói. The merchandise, valued at more than R$ 4 thousand, was recovered before the suspect could leave the establishment.
According to the Military Police, the woman tried to leave the store carrying the products inside a bag lined with aluminum. This resource is used to make it difficult for security tag detection by anti-theft systems.
Store employees noticed the action and confronted the suspect still inside the establishment. Military police were called and took the woman to the 76th Police Station (Downtown), where the incident was reported.
In a statement, Plaza Shopping reported that the security team identified the occurrence.
