Alleged serial shoplifter sought on felony charges

Domenic Beraldi

ROCHESTER - Rochester Police are asking the public for their help in locating an alleged repeat offender who currently has several arrest warrants out on him.

Police on Thursday reported that Domenic Beraldi, 20, a transient with strong ties to Rochester, is being sought by police on multiple charges, including felony robbery, receiving stolen property, theft by deception and criminal trespass.

Beraldi, who was convicted of shoplifting last year and given a 30-day sentence suspended on good behavior for two years, racked up three shoplifting arrests in April at Rochester stores.

Besides allegedly shoplifting while out on bail, Beraldi, who formerly in court records listed an address of 2 Abbott St., in East Rochester, faces a felony robbery charge for an incident at Kmart on April 11 in which he allegedly shoved a store manager to the ground after being caught shoplifting.

The other two willful concealment charges from April stem from incidents at the Rochester Walgreens and a second incident at Kmart.

Beraldi has a penchant for dying his hair, which is described as black but has been pink and yellow in the recent past.

He is described as 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds, with brown eyes.

Police are asking anybody who may know of his whereabouts to contact the Rochester Police Department at 603-330-7128.
