Attempt to steal alcohol

Around 11:40 a.m. Sept. 9, police responded to a business on the 1200 block of South Main Street on the report of a retail fraud that had just occurred.

According to a police report, when police arrived they made contact with the suspect - a 46-year-old Manchester woman - as well as the staff from the business.

The staff stated that the suspect had attempted to steal a bottle of alcohol by passing the alcohol off as already being paid for, which it had not been. The business did not want to seek criminal prosecution but said the suspect is no longer welcome inside the establishment, the report states.
