Elvie Stride, no less. I guess if you’re going to get caught stealing a breast pump, it may as well be an Elvie Stride. 💁🏾♀️
Pregnant Housekeeper (25) Arrested After Stealing
Breast Pump from Target° Eatontown
Around 3:52 PM on September 22, 2023, Patrolman Matthew Schou with the Eatontown Police Department responded to a report of a shoplifting at the Target store located at 56 State Highway 36.As he arrived on scene, he immediately made contact with someone in Asset Protection who told him that a woman wearing a denim jacket had left the store with a shopping cart after only paying for some of the items in cash while going through the self-checkout.
Patrolman Schou waited for additional officers to arrive on scene, and then they walked into the TJ Maxx nearby to search for a woman matching this description. Less than 45 seconds after entering the TJ Maxx, the officers were able to locate the suspect, who was later identified as 25-year-old Maryeris Ernestina Velasquez Joya.
After they made contact with the suspect, they noticed that she was pushing a Target shopping cart inside a TJ Maxx. The officers escorted Maryeris outside of the store, and began to inventory the stolen merchandise once they were outside.
Inside the shopping cart, they found an Elvie Stride Plus hospital-grade breast pump valued at $319.99. They also found her to be in possession of an additional $180 in stolen female cosmetic products, for a total value of $499.99.
Based on witness accounts from Target’s Asset Protection official as well as the surveillance footage, Maryeris was placed under arrest for shoplifting (2C:20-11B(1). Patrolman Gilligan transported Maryeris to the Eatontown Police Department for further processing.
At the Eatontown Police Department, Maryeris was photographed and fingerprinted. She was handcuffed to the bench as the officers completed their paperwork. While she was unable to provide a social security number, she told the officers that she was from Nicaragua. When they asked about her occupation, she told them that she cleaned houses (housekeeper).
Patrolman Schou released Maryeris at 5:20 PM after issuing her a summons to appear in court on November 14, 2023 for shoplifting under 2C:20-11B(1).
