Police: Shoplifter Stuffs Seafood In His Pants

UPDATED: 3:26 pm MST August 15, 2008

A man was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting on Thursday after Chandler police said he attempted to steal packages of octopus and shrimp by stuffing them down his pants.

Ricardo Arcos-Lopez grabbed the packages, slipped them in his shorts and was able to breach cashiers before the store manager caught him at the door, officers said.

When police arrived, they said the name Arcos-Lopez gave them was bogus. When he revealed his real name, police said they discovered he was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant and two felony warrants.

Officers said the man had a history of using false identities. Police said they found a fake mustache and beard at the time of his arrest.

Police said Arcos-Lopez is an illegal immigrant who had been deported once before.
