SALEM, Mass. (AP) — Police say a Massachusetts mother is facing new charges alleging she stole merchandise from a New Hampshire department store shortly after she was arraigned on prior shoplifting charges.
Thirty-three-year-old Adelaida Jordan of Roxbury, Massachusetts, was charged Monday with willful concealment, endangering the welfare of a child and other offenses.
Police say she went straight to the Kohl’s store in Salem with her 8-year-old son and 18-year-old niece following her hearing.
Video reportedly shows Jordan directing her son to walk out of the store with a cart full of items. Police say the group also removed items from packaging and placed them in backpacks in the fitting room.
