Marshall's Theft Suspect Arrested after Trying to Hide at Walmart

Niagara Falls Police responded to Marshall’s on Military Road around 6:30pm on April 4th, 2025. Upon arrival, officers were redirected to Walmart where the suspected shoplifter was detained by asset protection and a Niagara County Sheriff’s Deputy.

The loss prevention detective from Marshalls stated that at approx. 4:10pm, he was working and observed a male party conceal three items of clothing on his person within a blue Walmart bag that he was carrying. He then observed the suspected shoplifter proceed to the front of the store and pass all final points of purchase without rendering payment.

The employee then attempted to confront the male suspect outside of the store on the sidewalk, but the male party refused to comply and pushed past him walking westbound toward Walmart.

Less than 20 minutes later, Asset Protection at Walmart stated that he had a male shoplifter in custody from an unrelated theft from their location which matched the suspect description from the incident at Marshall’s.

The male suspect was positively identified by the loss prevention detective and all three items of clothing, valued at $59.97, were recovered. He was issued an appearance ticket and released.

No further information is available.
