State troopers were dispatched to the Kohl's at Granite Run Mall in Middletown for a theft in progress on May 4, they wrote in a release. While officers were en route, the suspect hopped into a Ford Focus, went to the nearby Boscov's, and stole more merchandise, police said.
She was arrested at Boscov's and identified as 28-year-old Nye'jierra Drummond of Wilmington, Delaware, troopers wrote.
While Drummond was being processed at the state police station, authorities say she received text messages that said "Yo, you good?", "Where you at?", and "Let's hit Five Below next."
The sender, police say, was 23-year-old Tre'tearra Parson, also of Wilmington. She was found sitting in the Ford Focus parked right outside the Five Below, troopers added.
Investigators claim the pair stole "miscellaneous fragrances" and clothes valued at over $3,500.
According to court records, Parson was charged with retail theft and receiving stolen property. Drummond was charged with the same, plus marijuana possession and drug paraphernalia, legal filings show.
Both women posted $1,500 bail and are scheduled to return to Delaware County court for a preliminary hearing on June 7.
