STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Staten Island man was arrested in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, charged with shoplifting multiple items from a boutique store, according to the Palm Beach Police Department.

Janos Buda, 49, of the 100 block of Sliver Lake Road in Brighton Heights, allegedly tried to steal merchandise from the Neiman Marcus store in Palm Beach, according to the criminal complaint.

Security personnel saw Buda in the surveillance cameras walk around the fragrance department at the store, pick up a mens fragrance tester and put it in a shopping bag he had with him, the complaint indicates.
