TRUMBULL — Two Bridgeport women were arrested for shoplifting from the Trumbull Mall Wednesday evening after one pepper sprayed a security guard while trying to escape, police said.
Around 8 p.m., Shazia Depass, 21, and a female juvenile selected more than $500 worth of Macy’s merchandise and left the store without paying.
Macy’s and mall security confronted the pair in the parking lot, where Depass was detained.
When a Macy’s security officer attempted to apprehend her, the juvenile pepper sprayed him and a struggle ensued.
Both women were held for the police and the security guard was treated on scene by Trumbull EMS.
The juvenile was transported to St. Vincent’s Hospital to be treated for minor injuries sustained in the altercation.
Depass was charged with fifth-degree larceny and released on a promise to appear in court Wednesday.
