Police officers were summoned to the Kmart store on Middlesex Ave. for a reported case of shoplifting last week.

Upon arrival, officers were reportedly informed by store loss prevention personnel that a woman, Danielle Dellamano, 29, of Roxbury, was observed putting bottles of cologne in her bag. She was reportedly in the company of a male, later identified as James Dallaire, 27.

The two reportedly split up and Dellamano allegedly made for the exit without stopping to pay for the items that she had taken. She was stopped and her bag searched by store personnel. The bag reportedly contained over $200 worth of colognes.

Dallaire was subsequently found in the store bathroom, reportedly disposing of an unknown substance.  He was also detained, and brought to the loss prevention office.

Dellamano was placed under arrest and charged with shoplifting by asportation. Dallaire was placed under arrest on a warrant charge of larceny under $250.
