Trio Sought For Assaulting Lord & Taylor Security Guard
WAYNE, NJ Dec 7 2017 — Police are looking for three women they say assaulted a security guard and gave him a concussion after they shoplifted merchandise from Lord & Taylor at the Willowbrook Mall Thursday night.
The women were seen shoplifting at the store just before 8 p.m., said Detective Capt. Laurence Martin.
A security guard approached women in the parking lot, but they drove away in a white Nissan SUV, Martin said. They drove away with the guard holding onto the side of the vehicle and raced through the parking lot, a video police released of the encounter shows.
The security guard fell off the SUV and hit the pavement. He received a concussion and laceration as a result of the fall, Martin said. The man is recovering.
The women left the mall in a rented white Nissan SUV with a New York license plate of HFE2593, Martin said. Responding officers were unable to find the vehicle.
The women were described as African-Americans between 20 and 39 years old. The driver was described as a heavy-set female with long black hair, wearing a black, zipper-style jacket and a long blue floral pattern skirt. The second female suspect had a thin build with a long black hair in a ponytail and wore a long black shirt, long black skirt and gray hooded sweatshirt, which was underneath a white sweater, police said.
The third suspect had blonde hair, an Ushanka Russian style winter hat, white shirt, black jacket and long black skirt, Martin said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Wayne Police Department at 973-633-1800.
