Palm Bay police said a transient was arrested on suspicion of retail theft after a loss prevention employee at the Publix on Malabar Road saw the 52-year-old woman open a box of frozen clams and hide them in the front of her shorts.

She was escorted to the security office without incident and the food items, valued at $45.98, were recovered.



Police identified the suspect as Debra Lee Marceau. She was arrested and taken to the Palm Bay Police Department for processing.

While this one seems too easy, here are some of the comments from WESH Orlando:

Something about this story smells fishy
Isn't that where you're suppose to hide them?
Where did she hide the sausages then?
At least it wasn't crabs!
I hope they don't put those clams back on the shelf.
At her age her clam should have thawed out by now.
