South Brunswick Police Charge Three Suspects at Target with Shoplifting Spree

South Brunswick Police arrested three people in the parking lot of the Target department store on Route 1 and charged them with possession of stolen property yesterday.  In addition, two of the suspects were charged with heroin possession.  

Ashley Vohdin, 27, of Metuchen, Brian Bomba, 31, of South River, and Anthony Kunsevich, 29, of East Brunswick, were arrested at 3:25 p.m. after officers were called to the Target on reports of a theft.

When officers arrived they learned that Target loss prevention personnel had stopped Vohdin as she was leaving the store with stolen baby formula, police said.  The officers determined that Bomba and Kunsevich were in the parking lot waiting for Vohdin, according to police.

Officers were given consent by the suspects to search the suspects' vehicle, where officers discovered an additional 17 cans of stolen formula.  The subsequent investigation revealed that the suspects had been shoplifting all day, police said.

The suspects had stolen the formula from a Target and an A&P in Edison prior to coming to South Brunswick, according to police.

In addition, officers recovered heroin and a syringe in the car.  Police said the suspects had intended on selling the formula to small stores and getting money in return.

All three suspects were released on summonses pending their first court appearances. All three were charged with possession of stolen property. Bomba and Kunsevich were charged with heroin possession, while Vohdin was charged with shoplifting.
