Man Leaves Prison, Robs Same N.J. Shoe Store 15 Years Later

Police say a man walked out of a New Jersey prison after serving 15 years for robbing a children’s shoe store, headed straight back to the same shop and robbed it again. In 1999, 25-year-old Christopher Miller was arrested after he forced employees into the back room of the Stride Rite shoe store on Hooper Avenue in Toms River, tied them up and fled with cash. After a 15-year sentence, Miller was released on Friday from South Woods State Prison in Bridgeton. Police say Miller, now 40, took a bus from Atlantic City to Toms River on Saturday, and went to the same shoe store.
