East Northport Couple Allegedly Emptied Packages Of Pudding Mix, Refilled Packages With Sand, And Returned For Refund
NEW YORK (CBS)
Suffolk County Police arrested an East Northport couple for tampering with Jell-O pudding mixes at local supermarkets.
Alexander Clement, 68, and 64-year-old wife Christine Clement were identified as the individuals responsible; and each has been charged with five counts of petty larceny and five counts of tampering with a consumer product in the second degree.
Christine Clement allegedly purchased the products, removed the pudding mixes, and refilled the boxes with sandwich bags containing salt and sand. Police say the couple then returned the packages to the supermarkets for a refund.
Authorities say there is no indication that the Clements sought to harm any other consumers, but instead were trying to obtain the product without paying for it.
The Clements are set to be arraigned in Central Islip, though a date has not yet been set.
Three of the markets are in Brookhaven, Smithtown, Huntington -- all in Suffolk County -- and a fourth in the Nassau County town of Woodbury.
