A man took two items from their display shelves at a store about 3:13 p.m. Jan. 3 in the Berkshire Mall, in the 1600 block of State Hill Road in Wyomissing, and took them to the cashier – to return. The cashier gave the man a gift card for the $59.07 value of the items. Police officers who watched the transaction then took the man into custody. The suspect, a 46-year-old West Reading man, also had an outstanding warrant. Police turned the man over to Berks County sheriff's deputies. He was charged with theft by deception and receiving stolen property.
