BAYONNE -- A 32-year-old woman has been charged with stealing 144 bottles of nail polish from CVS last month, authorities said.

Jamie Esposito, of Kennedy Boulevard, was arrested on Wednesday after she was caught shoplifting from another pharmacy, Bayonne police said in a statement.

Officers were called to the Rite Aid on Broadway on reports of a shoplifter. Esposito allegedly admitted to taking $63.98 worth of formula and was found carrying a hypodermic needle and drugs, police said.

While being processed on last week's arrest, police determined Esposito was responsible for the Nov. 6 shoplifting incident at CVS on Avenue C. In that theft she allegedly stole $1,400 worth of nail polish.
