Nickesha Green, 30, of Bridgeport, was arrested after being stopped on Greenwich Avenue on Wednesday for having overly tinted windows, Greenwich Police said.
The officer could smell marijuana coming from inside of the vehicle and conducted a search. During the search, the officer found a bag with a magnetic anti-theft retail devise used for the purpose of removing the security tags from clothing. The device was engraved with "Property of Alpha," and "Not for Resale," and still had a steel security cable attached to it, police said.
Green is not associated with Alpha and had no legitimate reason to have the device, they added.
“Officers determined that Green had been in the area with the sole intention of visiting retail stores, doing so with the device concealed within her bag which she was carrying,” the report stated.
Police also uncovered 12 pills of amphetamines and two of Oxycodone during the search, an arrest report said.
Green was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of a shoplifting device and larceny.
She was released on $200 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 9, 2019.
