Shawn Marinelli, 32, who police identified later, then proceeded to enter the store men’s department , where he placed a laptop on the floor, under a clothes rack, removed anti-theft apparatus, then concealed the item under his coat court documents say.
Marinelli then headed to the front of the store, passing all cashiers, making no effort to pay for the laptop valued at $648, police said.
Police arrived on scene and found the laptop “concealed in Mr. Marinelli’s jock area.”
