Tip from Social Media Leads to Arrest of Man Wanted for Shoplifting

Yesterday, we posted pictures of a man suspected of shoplifting over $700 worth of seafood from a food store in Upper Township on December 26 and December 29.

Within hours of our post, Trooper Steven Hillesheim received an anonymous tip that led to the arrest of Reginald T. Cason, 60, of Woodbine, N.J.


Cason was arrested at his residence without incident. He was processed at Woodbine Station and charged with shoplifting for the two incidents in December.

When we capture stills from surveillance video, the images are often grainy and slightly distorted. We have confidence in our detectives and the solid leads provided by our social media followers.

The smallest tips often crack the case. Great job Trooper Hillesheim, and great job by all of you! Thank you for liking and sharing the post! It was a great help!
