Greenwich Police arrested three men suspected of being part of an organized retail theft group on Thursday.
Initially Greenwich Police received a BOLO (Be On the Lookout) for larceny suspects and their vehicle entering this jurisdiction.
Plainclothes officers working in the central Greenwich business district in the area of Greenwich Avenue spotted the individuals based on the BOLO exhibiting suspicious behavior in a local retail store.
Further, surveillance of the individuals revealed that they were actively concealing merchandise within a foil lined “booster bag” and all had engaged in an effort to do so by distracting employees, acting as lookouts, and using their bodies to obstruct their actions.
Greenwich detectives and plainclothes officers tracked the suspects back to their vehicle where they detained, positively identified them and arrested them.
Police say the group were all part of an Organized Retail Theft Group that, minutes prior, had committed a larceny in a neighboring jurisdiction.
