HANOVER TOWNSHIP — A Florham Park woman has been charged with shoplifting after an investigation by Hanover Township Police revealed multiple thefts from a local grocery store.
Detective Erick Magley charged Ivory Johnson, 43, with shoplifting after determining she had walked out of ShopRite on seven separate occasions without paying for merchandise totaling $249.70.
Police said the investigation began on Friday, September 19, when ShopRite staff reported a series of thefts that had occurred over a period of time. Detective Magley reviewed store surveillance footage and other evidence, ultimately identifying Johnson as the suspect.
Johnson was contacted by police and voluntarily responded to headquarters, where authorities say she cooperated fully and admitted to the thefts. She was issued a complaint summons and released pending a future court appearance.
