A small business in Suffolk County says they've had various items stolen in two recent incidents.
The owner of South Shore Farm Stand posted a warning to other business owners on social media, saying both happened in the last week.
Surveillance cameras at the stand on Montauk Highway in Blue Point captured images of the people involved in both alleged thefts.
A 37-year-old Islip Terrace woman was arrested for the first incident, which happened around 12:30 p.m. on May 3, according to Suffolk police.
Laurel Shortell, owner of the stand, says the second time a pair of women walked away with a hibiscus pot.
“We put our whole heart and life into our businesses to serve our community, that it is very disheartening to have this happen at your own place of business,” Shortell said on Facebook.
No arrest has been made in connection with the second theft at this time.
