Habitual Thief Steals Again and Gets Arrested
HALIFAX COUNTY
ROANOKE RAPIDS

On Sunday, 6/2/2024 at around 11:00 pm, Lieutenant D.A. Newsome and Sergeant S. Langley responded to a business on Julian Allsbrook Highway in reference to a shoplifter fleeing the store with stolen merchandise. The caller stated a male left pushing a grocery cart with some Tide Pods that he did not pay for. The suspect’s description was a black male wearing a white hat, black hoodie, white pants, and a mask. Lieutenant Newsome and Sergeant Langley located the suspect walking on Cardinal Drive pushing a Food Lion cart with the stolen merchandise inside. Tajiri Rahimu Lee (39) of Roanoke Rapids was placed under arrest.

Lee was discovered to be habitual regarding stealing. This law states that when a defendant has been previously convicted of four or more larceny charges, whether felonies or misdemeanors, they are to be charged with habitual larceny. This is a felony. Sergeant Langley charged Lee with Felonious Habitual Larceny and Felony Possession of Stolen Property After Certain Felonies. Lee was given no bond due to being on bond for a February 2024 felony charge of Obtaining Property by False Pretense. He was given a court date of 6/27/2024.

Lee has numerous misdemeanor and felony convictions include:

-10/16/2023 Resist/Delay/Obstruct
-10/1/2022 Misdemeanor Larceny
-12/23/2021 Felony Breaking and Entering of a Motor Vehicle
-12/12/2021 Misdemeanor Larceny
-11/22/2021 Misdemeanor Possession of Stolen Goods
-6/8/2021 Felony Breaking and Entering of Motor Vehicle
-2/2/2021 Resist/Delay/Obstruct and Breaking and Entering of a Motor Vehicle (2 counts)
-12/21/2019 Misdemeanor Larceny (2 counts)
-3/31/2019 Second Degree Trespass
-4/7/2018 Misdemeanor Larceny
-3/5/2016 Second Degree Trespass
-10/7/2013 Resist/Delay/Obstruct, Second Degree Trespass, and Misdemeanor Larceny

-12/6/2007 Resist/Delay/Obstruct
-9/14/2007 Shoplifting
-8/25/2005 Assault on a Female
-10/15/2003 Felony Breaking and/or Entering

Chief Shane Guyant stated, “Some people will haphazardly say that, all he stole were some Tide Pods. However, just look at this individual’s criminal record. He is obviously a career criminal. Twenty years of stealing. Recent reports show that retail theft costs businesses well over $1 Billion dollars. That is with a “B”. Who do you think ends up having to pay for that. We should not look the other way with any theft. It costs us all money when people steal. Whether it be Tide Pods or a car. It should not matter.”
