Woman brandishes high-heeled shoe as weapon against store security
NATICK MA March 30 2019– A Waltham woman menaced a Macy’s store security guard with her high-heeled shoe on Tuesday when he stopped her after she left the store with dozens of allegedly stolen items, authorities said.
Police arrested Nawal Abdul Abdul-Razzak, 44, at 8 p.m. at the Natick Mall store.
According to a police report, a store security guard saw Abdul-Razzak come into the store carrying several Macy’s bags that appeared to contain some items. He watched Abdul-Razzak go through the store and put several items including jewelry, thongs, lingerie and other items into the bag and leave.
In all, Macy’s security said Abdul-Razzak stole 39 items valued at $1,035.
The security guard stopped Abdul-Razzak when she left the store without paying.
“Nawal then became assaultive and removed one of her high-heeled shoes and flung it at (the security guard),” police wrote.
Abdul-Razzak missed, but continued to brandish the shoe in “an aggressive and assaultive manner,” before she calmed down and went back into the store with the security guard, police wrote in the report.
When police arrived, Abdul-Razzak told police she could not be arrested because she left her children at another store. She said the children were 10 and 14. She would not give police their phone number and police and mall security had to search the mall for the children before someone found them near the food court, police wrote in the report.
Police arrested Abdul-Razzak, of 10G Dermondy Road, and charged her with shoplifting and assault with a dangerous weapon (high-heeled shoe). Police also filed a report with the Department of Children & Families because they felt her leaving the children alone for more than an hour while she shoplifted was negligent parenting, according to the report.
At arraignment in Natick District Court on Wednesday, Judge Martine Carroll released her on $100 bail and ordered her to stay away from Macy’s. Abdul-Razzak is due back in court on April 19 for a pretrial conference.
