A couple was charged with sixth-degree larceny Tuesday after they reportedly shoplifted baby formula from CVS Pharmacy at 1968 Black Rock Turnpike, police said.

Annie Turoczi, 21, of Bridgeport and her boyfriend Paul Gaites, 24, of Stamford allegedly filched eight cans of Enfamel from CVS. A store supervisor told police he saw the two leave without paying for the merchandise.

The two reportedly got into a black car driven by an older female. The car sped off down Back Rock Turnpike, the supervisor told police.

Shortly after the report from CVS, the driver of the car called to tell police she believe her niece -- Turoczi -- and her niece’s boyfriend had shoplifted from CVS. They had asked the aunt for a ride to pick up a prescription; she told police they told her to “hurry up” when they got back in the car with the baby formula, according to the report.

Police went to Turoczi’s residence and identified her and Gaites as the suspects on surveillance video provided by CVS. They were taken into custody and charged with sixth-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit larceny.

Turoczi was released on a promise to appear in court on April 10. Gaites was held on a total $11,090 bond after police discovered he had three outstanding warrants for failures to appear in court, according to the report. He is also due in court on April 10.
