Where there’s a will there’s a way: Some parents don’t just sit back while their kids have needs and some hustlers don’t wait for opportunities—they take bold action! A Brooklyn Man Goes on Tri State Theft of Thousands of Dollars in Diapers reportedly hitting every Stop & Shop in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Since it wasn’t a robbing spree, how’d he do it???
They’re calling him the “Diaper Don,” Kevin Hargrove was arrested Thursday as the Brooklyn Man Goes on Tri State Theft of Thousands of Dollars in Diapers. Police say he made his rounds at multiple locations by cleverly swapping diaper price tags for 99-cent tags (good one!) and using the self-help check-out lanes. Of course it was all good till he got caught…
If you’ve been asking yourself, “what happened to the hustle?” take some solace in knowing moves are always trying to be made: The Brooklyn Man Goes on Tri State Theft of Thousands of Dollars in Diapers and was also stocking up for his apparently lucrative business being a diaper dealer:
“If I had to guess I’ve hit every Stop & Shop in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,” an apparently unremorseful Hargrove told cops, according to court papers. “I’ve been doing this so long I can’t remember.” The young father told detectives he was keeping some diapers for his own family but was stealing mostly to sell them on the street, officials said. He stole a wide variety of brands and sizes.
As the Brooklyn Man Goes on Tri State Theft of Thousands of Dollars in Diapers there’s two schools of thought: those surprised in general, and those surprised he got caught. The Huffington Post and NY Daily News report Hargrove has hit the store about 100 times since January, usually using pie-tin stickers for the switch and paying as little as $1.06 for $100 worth of diapers! He was arraigned Friday and faces third-degree grand larceny and two counts of second-degree falsifying business records, as well his bail was set at $9,000 bond or $4,500 cash.
