Infant an unwitting accomplice in alleged Saks shoplifting

GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) Police say an infant in a baby stroller was an unwitting accomplice in an attempted robbery of a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Greenwich.

The Greenwich Time reports that police say a shoplifting suspect tried to leave the store Sunday without paying for a pair of jeans. Mary Meerbergen is accused of hiding clothing in the lower compartment of a baby stroller, with the infant inside.

Police Lt. Kraig Gray said ``people will do anything,'' with thefts ``quite meticulously put together sometimes.''

The 31-year-old Meerbergen of Greenwich was charged with sixth-degree larceny and risk of injury to a minor.
