BLACKHAWK — She wore a “Love Pink” tank prime as she browsed across the CVS on Camino Tassajara, loading tequila, paper towels, and Reese’s sweet into her cart.
However as an alternative of paying for these things, she merely made a touch for her close by parked Mercedes, and fled the scene. Staffers known as the cops and totaled the stolen objects at roughly $141.67, authorities stated.
By the investigation’s finish, police have been in a position to establish the lady — and safely remove monetary hardship as a potential motive. She lived in a close-by gated group on Nation Membership Place in Blackhawk, a neighborhood stuffed with 6,000 sq. foot properties outfitted with yard tennis courts, Olympic-size swimming pools, and Golden State Warriors-themed basketball courts, authorities stated.
Police discovered the lady’s house — estimated by realtor websites to be value $5 million to $5.6 million — and tried to contact her. As a substitute, they are saying an unidentified man advised them to return again with a warrant.
In order that they did. The lady was arrested March 26 on suspicion of misdemeanor shoplifting, with a $2,500 bail. In a search of the house, they recovered suspected stolen objects — three tequila bottles, bathroom paper, trash baggage, an a two-pack of Bounty’s paper towels, in keeping with court docket data.
However the cops weren’t fairly quick sufficient. By the point they’d solved this caper, the Reese’s sweet had already been eaten.
No costs have been filed towards the suspect, recognized by police as a 54-year-old resident of the house.
