Store manager thwarts meat heist
CARLSBAD — An alert grocery store manager in Carlsbad thwarted a big meat heist last week. An Albertsons' manager said a man attempted to leave the store Dec. 13 with a shopping cart full of choice beef including five 10-pound chubs of meat, two rib-eye roasts, six packages of pork ribs, four sirloin steaks and five packages of chicken breasts. A police complaint said the total value of the items came to $501.05. As the female manager attempted to stop the man, he became startled, fled and left the cart and meat behind. Police reviewed surveillance video from the store and saw a man placing items into a cart. They later arrested 43-year-old Manuel Cabazuela, described as being a transient. Cabazuela entered no plea to charges of shoplifting more than $500 but less than $2,500.
