WRIGHTS CORNERS — A male and female shopping at Family Dollar on Lockport-Olcott Road stand accused by store personnel of stealing a $2.75 stick of Old Spice deodorant Saturday evening.
According to a report filed with the Niagara County Sheriff's Office, the pair were exiting the store after paying for some items around 6:45 p.m. when the alarm at the door alerted to a stolen item. The clerk said she instructed the suspects to stop to have their bags checked, however, they fled. The male threw something in the garbage can in front of the Subway and the pair then entered Tim Hortons.
The clerk retrieved a stick of Old Spice from the garbage can and waited for the suspects to exit Tim Hortons. The female exited Tim Hortons and walked to her vehicle which was parked in front of the Family Dollar store, then drove toward the Tim Hortons where she picked up the male, then driving westbound on Ridge Road.
The observant clerk got the license plate of the fleeing vehicle, which she gave to NCSO. Patrol attempted to make contact with the owner of the vehicle but was unsuccessful Saturday. The information was being forwarded to the Criminal Investigations Bureau.

WRIGHTS CORNERS — A 41-year-old Niagara Falls man is facing petit larceny charges from two Lockport-Olcott Road stores Sunday afternoon.
Gerald H. Stroud, 1819 Pine Ave., Niagara Falls, stands accused of stealing Glade air fresheners from Tops at approximately 4:30 p.m. He then reportedly stole Glade oil refills from Family Dollar at 4:34 p.m.
According to NCSO, Stroud entered Family Dollar and asked where the Glade Oil Refills were located for air fresheners. Several minutes later, he quickly exited the store and the sensor alarm was activated. The employees yelled to him to stop, but he continued walking out of the store and got into the back seat of a car which then left.
A short time later, patrol was informed that the Town of Niagara Police Department stopped the vehicle involved in the larceny and the male in the back seat matches the description of the suspect provided. The items were also found in the car.
NCSO states that Stroud confessed to stealing the items from Family Dollar and Tops. The merchandise was returned to its appropriate stores. Stroud was held in the Niagara County Jail, in lieu of $500 bail. He is to appear in the Town of Newfane Court to be arraigned on the charge of Petit Larceny.

The discount chain is closing up shop and reopening in the storefront they've been sitting next to for years.
The new location, formerly Blockbuster, is much larger than their old storefront and recently refurbished.
The store is closed today and Sunday but is scheduled to reopen Monday in their new spot.
Another Lockport Plaza tenant is set to move in June. Mark's Pizza will move from their current spot to the former spot hosted by Another Man's Treasure, also in Lockport Plaza.

The dollar discount store which carries everything from milk to shoes to electronics, hopes to be in their new location - the former Blockbuster site - by March, according to a store representative.
Currently there is construction going on in the old Blockbuster and everything appears to be business as usual at Family Dollar.
