Port Chester Store Security Guard Accused of Shoplifting at Neighboring Store

A security guard at a Port Chester department store is accused of stealing $530 worth of merchandise from another nearby store, according to Port Chester Police.

Latoya Amoy Campbell, 23, of 30 Poplar St., Bridgeport, CT, was arrested Saturday after security officers at the Port Chester Kohl's store accused her of taking the merchandise without paying for it. Police said Campbell, at the time, was employed as a security guard at the AI Friedman store, just a few doors over in the same shopping center on Boston Post Road.

Police said security officers at Kohl's saw Campbell go into a fitting room at the store with mulitple items, but the items were not visible when she came out of the room. Police said the security officers checked the room and discovered the items were not left there, leading to the disovery of the items in a plastic bag carried by Campbell.

She is accused of taking nearly 30 shirts, pants, shoes and wallets.

Campbell was charged with petty larceny and faces a hearing in Port Chester Village Court.
