OXFORD, CT (WFSB) – An investigation is underway after multiple people were seen stealing shopping carts full of items from an Oxford grocery store early Tuesday morning.
The incident happened just after 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday at the Market 32 store on Oxford Road.
Police said they were notified about 10 minutes after multiple people were seen filling shopping carts full of items inside the store, walking out without paying, and then filling two SUVs that were waiting outside. It is believed those vehicles were stolen.
The suspects were able to get away before police arrived.
Their identities are unknown at this time, but a video showing the suspects loading the two cars outside is circling around social media. Police are taking a look into that video as well as surveillance footage.

Police did say a 911 call was never placed when this was happening.
They said a call came through the routine phone line at the Oxford Resident Trooper’s Office about 10 minutes after the crime had already happened.
“Had 911 been contacted in a timely manner, police personnel would have been able to attempt to intercept those involved. We would like to remind everyone to stay vigilant and not to engage with people like this when a crime is occurring,” police said in a press release.
The investigation remains active at this time.
dang, that women stole alot of laundry detergent, maybe she has owns a laundry mat.
Or she afraid of dirty clothes if another lock down happens or the battle begins. I guess now stores need to hire rent a cops. Unreal how people have no shame. And we wonder how the country became so screwed up.
Obviously they have a mountain of laundry to do. LOL
Why those people just stood there watching is beyond me.
“Police say not to engage with people like this when a crime is occurring.” Are you kidding me!!
Yeah but go to CT and ask around questioning The Sandy Hook Hoax and you will see the Fuzz Real Fast….!
