Two people were arrested for allegedly shoplifting a necklace from an East Garden City store last month.
On November 24 at 3:51 p.m., Nassau County police responded to Neiman Marcus, located at 620 Old County Road, for a larceny. Two male suspects were observed via video surveillance allegedly manipulating a display case and taking a gold necklace valued at $7,665.
