Bangor police charged a woman with theft after she allegedly hid clothes in a stroller and rolled them out of J.C. Penney at the Bangor Mall on Monday afternoon.

Officer Jason McAmbley reported that at about 3:45 p.m. he went to J.C. Penney after a report of a shoplifter in custody. A security worker there told him Tracey Scott, 20, of Bangor was seen taking an armful of clothes into a fitting room.

When Scott left the fitting room, the worker said, she wasn’t carrying as much. She placed what she had back on the racks. A worker looked in the fitting room and found some empty clothes hangers. Price tags were found in the pocket of one pair of shorts Scott had returned to the rack.

A worker stopped Scott in the mall. The missing merchandise, priced at a total of $303.92, was found hidden in her infant daughter’s stroller. Scott was charged with theft.
