A shoplifting incident is under investigation by the Oxford Resident Trooper’s Office.  Market 32 personnel saw several people filling multiple shopping carts on Tuesday shortly after 6:30am.  They left without paying and quickly tossed the items into two awaiting vehicles parked in the fire lane. 

State Police say believe the vehicles were stolen. 

The Oxford Resident Trooper’s Office is aware of a video of the incident that has been circulating on social media and is working to obtain additional surveillance footage.  One person tosses a cart in front of one vehicle as it speeds off.  The person filming is heard making comments including “that’s why prices go up.”

A 911 call was never placed and the call came in through the routine phone line at the Oxford Resident Trooper’s Office about 10-minutes after the crime had already occurred. Had 911 been contacted in a timely manner, police say personnel would have been able to attempt to intercept those involved. Police are reminding residents to stay vigilant and not engage with people like this when a crime is occurring.
