Candy Thief Apprehended for Second Time in Same Week by Falls Police

Niagara Falls Police responded to the Family Dollar on the 2100 block of Hyde Park Boulevard around 8:20am on September 18th after reports of a shoplifter. While en route to Family Dollar, officers detained a suspect on the 2100 block of Jerauld Avenue that matched the description the caller gave.

McClain presented a bag full of candy to officers valued at $131.76 and said, “if I give it back, will they not charge me?”

Officers then relocated with McClain to Family Dollar for a show-up where he was positively identified. He was then taken to police headquarters for booking and processing.

Of note, McClain was just arrested days before on September 13th for stealing $217.75 worth of candy from another Family Dollar in Niagara Falls.

No further information is available at this time.
