LAWRENCE - A Trenton woman shoplifted $250 worth of dresses from Macys Saturday afternoon, pushed a security officer, and then led police on a one-mile car chase before crashing and fleeing into a marsh along the highway, police said today.
Shabrika Laster, 24, was captured after a 20-minute police search of the marshy area near Route 1 and Interstate 95, Sgt. Joseph Amodio said.
Laster was in Macys at Quaker Bridge Mall at around 3:10 p.m., and had allegedly stuffed $251.98 worth of dresses under her tube top.
She was approached by Macys security, Amodio said. She was stopped outside the store, and pushed the security officer.
Laster drew back her hand as if she was about to strike the security guard, but instead jumped behind the wheel of her car and took off with another 24-year-old Trenton girl in the passenger seat, police said.
Officer Mark Poveromo tried to stop the car, but Laster allegedly ignored him and began to weave in and out of traffic as she fled south on Route 1. Poveromo stopped his pursuit after about a mile. Laster then hit another car near the entrance to I-95, bringing both vehicles to a stop, police said.
Laster fled, leaving the 24-year-old behind with an arm injury she suffered in the crash, police said. No one was injured in the other car.
To try to evade the police, Laster went into a swampy area along I-95, which officers had to enter to track her down, Amodio said. She was found after about 20 minutes and placed under arrest.

Oh, for goodness sakes! Why would you want to bring a weiner into this thread?
Moral of the story: wear something looser than a tube top next time.
Oh yeah? See post #12!
If you’re theft security in a major department store don’t you think you’re gonna be keeping a sharp eye on ‘shoppers’ who look like Shabrika? She’s just idiot enough to think she could get away with it.
Shabrika Leathers does have a nice sound to it!
Not even Laz.
Into a marsh? Sounds like wet grass.
If she keeps house like my first wife, the marsh is probably a step up.
Name of perp is Shabrika Laster. Enough said.
She be so ugly she ain’t be needin’ no nice dresses. A smock will do.
Wonder if that red number was one of the outfits Shabrika acquired from Macy’s as “reparations”?
She looks like she just woke up and crawled out of a swamp after decades in an underwater cave.
I’m a woman. And I’m attracted to canned spicy ham, better known as spam. spam spam spam spam spaaaaam wonderful spaaaaam
I was always under the impression that you can't arrest someone for shop lifting if they are still on store property(inside the building). In my area of CA they always wait until the suspect leaves the building then they stop them, not physically of course, but approach them and talk to them.
“no, I would” lol
