Philadelphia Premium Outlets Hit with Theft

The Philadelphia Premium Outlets were hit again last week, this time it was California Sunshine Swimwear on Tuesday. Three unidentified suspects got away with two bathing suits valued at a combined $330.

A store employee called police and responding officers Kevin McGuigan and Patrick Roche arrived on the scene. The employee told the officers that the three suspects - a black male, a black female and a hispanic female - had gotten away after she followed them for a short time and lost them.

The two bathing suits stolen were a Juicy Couture one piece and a True Religion one piece. The employee noted that the hispanic female was the one who took the bathing suits and that she bled on one of them. There was a broken security sensor found on the floor.

Fight Doesn't Break Up in Time for 21 y/o Public Drunkeness Offender

A 21-year-old male identified as Kyle Niemann was allegedly taken in for public drunkeness last Wednesday after a couple called police after Niemann attacked Andrew Stein. The crime was committed at 158 Bayberry Drive. Officers John Cassel, Jr. and Kevin McGuigan responded to the call and arrived at a house down the street where they picked up Niemann and a friend, later identified as Stephen Burnett.

As was told by Stein and girlfriend Angelia Goharty, who were both sober, Stein came into the development to pick up Goharty when the two males were standing outside of his car.

"What? Were you trying to clip me?" said Niemann to Stein. "Do you want to go?"

Stein exited his vehicle and said he did not want to fight, but Niemann persisted. Niemann then pushed Stein, swung his legs at him and took him to the ground, trying to choke him. Goharty called police and Niemann walked away. Stein was seen with cuts and scrapes but denied medical attention.

Another friend of Niemann's, Timothy Staranowski, was found later. He told police he had to walk away to cool off. Staranowski also told police he was trying to pull Niemann off of Stein the whole time. Goharty confirmed this as correct.

Upon speaking to Niemann, Officer Cassel detected alcohol on his breath, along with slurred speech and staggering. Niemann's BAC was found to be .187-percent, while Burnett's was at zero. Burnett was not involved in the situation at all.

Throughout the investigation process, Niemann continued to be disorderly toward police, getting up from the curb multiple times and continuously putting his legs outside of the police car when handcuffed. Niemann was taken to Pottstown Police Department and was released in the morning.

Trending Thefts from Royersford Kohl's

Officer Patrick Roche responded to a call from Royersford Kohl's, 989 S. Township Line Rd. on Sunday. A 22-year-old female identified as Stephanie Lynn Angelucci was found stealing from the store.

Stolen items included: a Maidenform bra, ladies flip flops and four junior tops. The total value of the stolen items was $82.87.

There was also a theft by an 18-year-old female identified as Dana Marie Palumbo and an unidentified minor, which was reported two days earlier. Palumbo and the minor made about five trips to the fitting rooms with selected clothes from the store. They exited the rooms without many of the items and only paid for a beach towel.

Kohl's Loss Prevention detained the two individuals until Officer Christopher Iochum arrived on the scene. Kohl's had recovered jewelry and clothing from the individuals' purses.

The two were allegedly found with $147.75 worth of merchandise that was not paid for.
