My home town.
By Dan O'Brien / The Daily Item
LYNN - Police hope they made a dent in Stop & Shop’s carriage theft problem by arresting a man accused of stealing at least 50 shopping carts.
Edgar Ananias Gomez, 26, of 10 Valley Ave., Lynn, was arrested Wednesday and charged with larceny and violating the city’s ordinance of stealing shopping carts. A Stop & Shop official later told police the Washington Street supermarket had $50,000 worth of shopping carts stolen over the past two years. Each carriage is worth about $110.
Police say Gomez stole at least 50 carts this month and sold them for scrap metal in Chelsea at five cents per pound.
“This is a potent reminder to area businesses to remain vigilant in safe guarding their carriages,” Lynn police spokesman Lt. William Sharpe said. “
