Armstead of North Bergen was wanted for an Oct. 25, 2016, incident in which police responded to the store on a report of the theft of handbags by two women who appeared to be in their mid-20s, police said.
Store employees told police the women had fled the area in a newer model white Lexus sedan with a New Jersey tag, traveling south on Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich Police said.
At the same time, the women were fleeing a Greenwich police officer reported that the vehicle almost hit him at a traffic signal and then sped through the intersection.
The officer attempted to stop the vehicle, but they managed to get away.

Following her arrest, Armstead posted a $75,000 surety bond and was released.
