The series of events began with a social media post asking for the public's help.
EVESHAM TWP. -- A trio from Gloucester County sought on shoplifting charges were identified by an officer from a Camden County police department and caught soon after allegedly shoplifting again.
The series events began Wednesday when Evesham police posted photos of the trio who allegedly stole thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise from a local Target store.
"Within minutes," police said, an officer from Brooklawn contacted Evesham authorities and was able to identify all three of the men as a result of past arrests.
Arrest warrants were prepared for the men, then Target's loss prevention team called Evesham police to let them know the trio were back at the same store and "and in the act of shoplifting additional Dyson vacuums."
Evesham police responded to the scene, arrested two of the men there and the third as he attempted to flee with stolen merchandise. In an earlier release, Evesham police said their suspects were responsible for incidents occurring at the Target along Route 73, in Marlton, throughout the week of April 22.
