Rash of diaper thefts has several stores bummed out

Broward Sheriff’s detectives want to get to the bottom of a crime spree committed by a band of serial shoplifters who have been stealing boxes of disposable diapers from several stores since early March.

The most recent ripoff happened April 14 in a Family Dollar store at 7200 Southgate Blvd. in North Lauderdale, where the thieves stole several boxes of diapers, the sheriff’s office said Thursday.

On March 9, nearly $900 worth of diapers were taken from a Publix at 950 E. Commercial Blvd. in Oakland Park, and the group may be involved in similar thefts at a Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy in Margate, detectives said.
