A woman was arrested after police asked the public for help in identifying a female coffee thief.
Police in Pennsylvania, are investigating up to 50 incidents of coffee
thefts from Wawa convenience stores that have resulted in a loss of more
than $3,000.
Authorities suspect that one woman was behind all the thefts that began in the beginning of the year.
Wawa convenience stores in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and
Maryland, were affected by the thief, according to the West Goshen
Police Department.
Police said that the suspect entered Wawa convenience stores, stole many
bags of coffee and then took them to different Wawa stores nearby,
where she returned them for cash.
In video surveillance taken in March and April, the woman was seen
entering the store wearing scrubs, and police speculated that she could
be a health worker.
Police also said that they have seen her on video using two different
vehicles. One was a small silver sedan and the other was a maroon sport
utility vehicle.
Police released several clear photos of the woman, and after asking
people for help in identifying her, the woman turned herself in to
police.
Police announced on Facebook that they arrested Rebecca L. Julian, 48, from Wilmington, Delaware, on a charge of theft.
