At least try to do better than this guy.
Jenner A. Alvarenga, 29, denied he stole a dress from Brazilian Fashion at 137 Concord St., saying he bought it from someone on the street, police spokesman Lt. Paul Shastany said.
A witness called police around 1:45 a.m. and said he saw a man break the window at the dress shop and take something. The man then tried, but failed, to break a window to get into the Padaria Brasil Bakery, the lieutenant said.
“The officers arrived there and they found a disrobed mannequin,” Shastany said.
The witness gave police a description of a suspect, and a few minutes later the officers found Alvarenga walking on Howard Street carrying a blue dress, police said.
“When the man saw the officers approaching, he threw the dress on the ground,” said Shastany. “He said he just bought the dress from a guy for $10.”
Alvarenga could not identify the man or say where or when he had bought the dress. He then said he bought the dress for $5, police said.
