The suspect reportedly committed the theft crime just after 6:05 p.m. at the Target located on Route 46 East in Fairfield, New Jersey. According to officials, the suspect walked around the store for a short time before snatching a PlayStation 4 gaming system from a shelf. The stolen video game console is said to have a retail value of $250.

Security guards at the store alerted the Fairfield Police Department, which sent cops to the scene. The police officers caught the suspect as he was standing outside the store and placed him in handcuffs.
