Police in Henry County are on the lookout for a woman accused of shoplifting at a Publix Grocery Store in McDonough, Georgia—and what makes this case even more shocking is that she reportedly had a young child with her during the thefts.
The incidents happened at the Publix on Highway 20. Investigators say that on October 13, the store’s security cameras caught the woman pulling items off the shelves and stuffing them into a young boy’s backpack. The child appeared to be with her during the entire incident. This wasn’t a one-time occurrence, either. Police believe this is the second time the same woman has stolen from the same store.
It’s a troubling situation, not just because of the theft, but because a child was involved. Authorities are urging anyone who might have information about the woman or these incidents to come forward.
