Niagara Falls Police responded to Family Dollar on the 2100 block of Hyde Park Boulevard around 4:00pm on May 20th after reports that a female was caught shoplifting and, upon being escorted out of the store, kicked the door causing it to shatter.
Upon arrival, police spoke with the store manager and complaining employee who stated that a white female walked into the store with a large black duffle bag and immediately began filling it with items from around the store. Store personnel believed that she was attempting to shoplift and confronted her.
The female emptied her bag, which contained several items, and was asked to leave as she was no longer permitted on the premises.
An employee walked the female to the exit and locked the door after she had exited to prevent re-entry. The female then began to yell obscenities at her, turned around and kicked the door causing glass to spider and break. The female then fled.
Police canvassed the area with negative results. No further information is available at this time.
