Woman Charged With Shoplifting Accompanied By Young Teenager

A South Norwalk woman was arrested by warrant Wednesday in regards to a shoplifting incident that occurred June 19.

Kara Seneck-Ortiz, 32, of 32 Kossuth St., was charged with third-degree robbery, third-degree larceny, fourth-degree larceny and risk of injury to a minor.

Seneck-Ortiz is accused of shoplifting at CVS on Main Avenue while accompanied by a 14-year-old girl. The girl, whom police could not publicly identify because she is a juvenile, was charged with conspiracy to commit fourth-degree larceny.

A store detective told police that she observed Seneck-Ortiz and the girl fill CVS bags they were carrying and a shopping cart with what amounted to $1,131.32 in merchandise, including shampoo, body wash and paper towels.

The detective said she blocked them as they attempted to leave the store. The girl fled out the door while Seneck-Ortiz momentarily stayed behind.

The detective said Seneck-Ortiz scuffled with her and said “I’m going to kill you,” before grabbing some of the merchandise she allegedly wanted to steal, then ran out to a waiting car in which she got away.

Store security cameras recorded the incident.

The detective recorded the car’s license plate, which came back to an address on Lexington Avenue. The owner of the car told police she lent the vehicle to Seneck-Ortiz, and that it was her daughter who accompanied her.

Police said the detective was brought to the Lexington Avenue address and confirmed the girl was involved. The detective identified Seneck-Ortiz from a photo line-up, police said.

Seneck-Ortiz was held in lieu of $25,000 bond and given a court date of Aug. 5.
