Man charged with shoplifting after returning to store

SALEM — A couple's five-finger shopping spree came to an end Tuesday when a man attempting to pick up his girlfriend at a local department store was arrested on charges of stealing a laptop computer from the same store earlier that day, police said.

Jason Knox, 31, of Epping was arrested at the Target at 205 S. Broadway around 6 p.m. Tuesday, while picking up his 26-year-old girlfriend. The girlfriend was trying to return electronics stolen from a Target store in Haverhill, Mass., police said.

Knox and his girlfriend have now been linked to several thefts at Target stores in Methuen, Haverhill, and Revere, Mass., and Salem , but have yet to be charged in those cases, police Capt. Shawn Patten said. He said the duo has taken approximately $3,000 in electronics that include iPods and DVDs.
