Thursday, October 17
NEW YORK, NY--A woman, who was shoplifting with an accomplice at a Herald Square Victoria's Secret Thursday, was caught carrying a fetus in a shopping bag, police sources said.
Tiona Rodriguez, 17, and her unidentified cohort were lurking around the lingerie store on West 34th Street and Broadway around 1:30 p.m., when a security guard spotted them snatching sexy undergarments off the racks, sources said. The guard stopped the women and called police to the store.
It wasn't until the cops were cuffing the thieves that they made the grisly discovery--Rodriguez was walking around with a stillborn baby in a shopping bag.
Rodriguez told police that she had a miscarriage yesterday and didn't know what to do, a source said.
It was not immediately known far along Rodriguez was when she lost the baby but a source said that she was at least six months into the pregnancy. Rodriguez was taken to Bellevue Hospital while the other suspect was hauled into the precinct for questioning, sources said.
Charges against the alleged thieves are pending.
