Westport police chief catches accused shoplifters

WESTPORT — Just after two New York residents allegedly stole items from stores downtown, they were busted by the town’s top cop — Chief Foti Koskinas. Sharon Harrison, 45, of Bronx, N.Y., and Odane Grant, 23, of Mount Vernon, N.Y., were each charged with possession of a shoplifting device, fifth-degree larceny (shoplifting), conspiracy to commit fifth-degree larceny, weapons in a motor vehicle and fifth-degree larceny (possession). Around 11:45 a.m. Thursday, Koskinas spotted two suspects — later identified as Harrison and Grant — in downtown that “appeared to be concealing items in oversized purses,” police said. But first, the chief wanted confirmation on what he thought he saw.
