Jamaican allegedly caught shoplifting in New York, now in ICE custody

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has detained a Jamaican man who is in the country illegally after he was arrested and charged for shoplifting on Monday.

Rammeike Campbell, 27, of a Queens, New York address was arrested after he was caught stealing merchandise from Macy's at the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, according to Nassau County Police.

He reportedly concealed the items in a shopping bag and walked out of Macy's without paying, police said.

He was arrested without incident after being stopped by loss prevention officers, and handed over to lawmen.

Campbell was charged with grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, false impersonation, and petty larceny.

Further investigation revealed that Campbell had also stolen from Forever 21, located in the same mall.

He reportedly gave police false information about his identity.

Campbell had an outstanding Warrant of Removal from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), meaning an immigration judge had already determined that he was in the country illegally and ordered his deportation.

After being released on an appearance ticket, Campbell was detained by ICE agents.
