The suspended NYPD detective who worked in Commissioner Edward Caban’s office and allegedly stole from a Long Island Home Depot provided cops with a phony name twice before coughing up her real one, court documents reveal.
Detective Specialist Christina Cancel, 54, allegedly gave Suffolk County Police the fake name “Lisa Lopez” and a made up date of birth — even after cops warned she could be charged with false impersonation.
“The defendant still gave the name of Lisa Lopez birthdate 04.12.1968,” the documents state.
Cancel is accused of snatching $160 worth of merchandise from the home improvement store on Saturday in Deer Park, Suffolk County Police said.
Cancel — who made more than $150,000 last year — allegedly stole a six-port charger and Beyond Bright Ultra light worth $128.97 before waltzing out the door at 10:12 a.m., according to the criminal complaint.
The sticky-fingered detective then allegedly headed back into the store and grabbed a $29.97 USB three-port charger and walked past the registers at around noon, authorities allege.
Cancel, a 19-year veteran, used a cart during her shoplifting spree, according to the complaint.
Before cops brought her to Suffolk’s 1st Precinct, she finally admitted her real name and date of birth, the complaint shows.
She was charged with two counts of petit larceny and false personation.
Cancel, of Hicksville, was suspended without pay, the NYPD said.
The alleged thief worked in the Police Commissioner’s Office since July, the same month Caban was tasked with leading the department.
It’s not the first time she was disciplined by the NYPD.
In 2015, she lost 10 days of vacation for using another cop’s password to search the NYPD database.
Cancel did not return a message left by The Post Thursday night.
