A public safety officer was called to a store at 513 North Duncan Bypass to arrest the teen who was caught attempting to shoplift a Playstation game. A store official told the officer he had observed the boy select a Grand Theft Auto Playstation 2 game, take it out of its package and then conceal it in his left side coat pocket. He said he confronted the teen as he attempted to leave the store, retrieved the game and escorted him back inside to await the arrival of law enforcement.
The game cost $29.96 and cannot be resold because it was removed from its original package.
The teen was taken to the public safety department where he was charged with shoplifting and then released into the custody of a family member.
