Daily News | A Philadelphia police officer is under investigation for allegedly shoplifting at 7-Eleven
A $2.69 energy drink allegedly swiped from a 7-Eleven by a Philly cop has landed the officer on desk duty as Internal Affairs investigates.
The official incident report, obtained by The Inquirer, identifies the officer as Edwin Lebron, of the 25th Police District. It says the owner and an employee of a 7-Eleven in Juniata told police the officer, while in uniform, picked up Celsius Kiwi Guava drink and left without paying. Reached by phone Monday, Lebron said, “I don’t want to talk about it. It’s under investigation. I talked to my [union] representative and he said don’t talk to anybody.”
District Attorney Larry Krasner declined to comment on the incident Monday. He said retail theft cases involving small amounts of merchandise are often charged as low-level summary offenses.
