Police search for shoplifter who attacked Macy's loss prevention officer
WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) — Delaware State Police are looking for a shoplifting suspect accused of attacking a loss prevention officer inside the Macy’s at the Concord Mall in Wilmington.
Police released pictures of the woman still being sought. They said she took several items and tried to leave the store without paying.
A loss prevention officer tried to stop her, but authorities said she kicked him and implied she had a gun, even grabbing for her waist.
The woman was able to get away from the store.
Retail theft is a growing concern throughout the Philadelphia region.
On Friday, officers from Delaware and Chester County gathered for a retail theft training session.
“We are always better as law enforcement when we partner and we collaborate,” said Chester County District Attorney Chris de Barrena-Sarobe. “We have a lot of retail theft happening in Philadelphia and that is bleeding out into the counties.”
Delaware State Police haven’t identified the suspect who attacked the loss prevention officer and are looking for help from the public.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Buffalo woman has pleaded guilty to charges in connection with vandalism at The Terrace at Delaware Park in October 2025.

According to the DA, on October 16, 2025, Matthews drove six juveniles under her care to a business on Lincoln Parkway, and the juveniles, between the ages of 10 and 16, intentionally vandalized outdoor furniture and windows, causing approximately $2,000 in damage to the property.
The DA said that as a condition of the plea, Matthews signed a Confession of Judgment to pay $2,000 in restitution to the victim. Matthews faces a maximum of 364 days in jail when she is sentenced on June 9, 2026 and a temporary order of protection, issued on behalf of the property owner, remains in effect.
7 News spoke with Mike Shatzel, co-owner of The Terrace at Delaware Park, where the vandalism occurred, last October.
“It’s just disturbing that people have nothing better to do than come and just destroy things,” Shatzel said in October.
