TJ Maxx Shoplifters' Getaway Plan Fails

Niagara Falls Police were contacted by a TJ Maxx employee around 2:50pm on March 15th  who stated that two black females had just exited the store without paying for merchandise and got into the front seats of a maroon sedan with tinted windows.

Officers observed a vehicle matching the description exiting the parking lot and turning westbound on Niagara Falls Boulevard. The officer initiated a traffic stop at 70th Street on a maroon Chrysler Sedan. The employee responded to the officers’ location and positively identified the vehicle.

The driver identified herself but did not have any identification. The front seat passenger identified herself as Kenaiya White, but this was shortly thereafter found to be a fake name.

Both parties exited the vehicle and were placed in handcuffs. An orange purse was found inside of the vehicle which the TJ Maxx employee stated she had seen the items being placed into.

Both parties were transported to police headquarters for booking and processing. The driver was released with an appearance ticket. The front seat passenger was held for a warrant through Genesee County.

No further information is available at this time.
