Police in Washington Township responded to Target on Route 46 around 5:20 p.m. Sunday after the store’s loss prevention officer recognized a man from two prior thefts, Chief Jeffrey Almer said in a release.
Police confronted the man, who was trying to drive away from the store with a passenger, Almer said.
A follow-up investigation showed that the man — whose name was not released — had shoplifted around $30,000 from stores in other jurisdictions, police said.
The man was charged with shoplifting and taken to the Morris County Jail pending a court appearance.
