According to information from the office of Toms River PD Chief Mitchell Little, officers responded to a robbery report at Boscov's in the Ocean County Mall Thursday evening by store loss-prevention officers.

They told police said that Michael Truszkowski tried carting off a Kitchen-Aid mixer without paying - and that as a security worker struggled to keep him from escaping, Truszkowski slugged the guard. He was caught by another store employee.
