A New York woman has been arrested following a shoplifting attempt in the town of Southeast.  Putnam County Sheriff Deputies were dispatched to Kohl's last Monday for a report of a disorderly person. 

28-year old Kasey Battaglia of Newburgh was located in the parking lot of the nearby diner.  Loss Prevention told Deputies that Battaglia stole a purse, but dropped it and ran when the alarm sounded.  She was charged with petit larceny and released for a future appearance in Southeast Court.

A man who allegedly stole a lawn mower and air conditioning unit from a Home Depot store has been arrested. Putnam County Sheriff Deputies were dispatched to the store in Southeast, later in the same day, on that report of a larceny. 

The suspect, 70-year old Mark Vujevic of Carmel, was in the loss prevention office.  He was transported to Putnam County Correctional Facility and charged with Petit Larceny.  Vujevic was released for a future appearance in Southeast Court.
