Pennsylvania state police were first called to the retail theft at the Under Armour store on Gettysburg Village Drive on Nov. 11 around 3:30 p.m., according to the court documents obtained by Daily Voice.
When police arrived they saw six people in dark clothing wearing medical masks fleeing the store while throwing stolen merchandise, according to the criminal complaint.
The group all attempted to fit into a 2007 silver/grey Infiniti G35 with the Maryland license plate 8EW715, the police detailed in the court documents.
One woman, later identified as Keira Antonique-Sharlis Knox, was shoved out of the car as they blew past the police. Knox then led troopers on a foot chase, before she was apprehended and gave authorities a fake name, but fingerprinting later identified her as someone wanted on three warrants for unknown charges in Maryland.
More troopers followed the Infiniti that was now going 60 mph in a parking lot, eventually, troopers cleared the area and blocked it off from the public. Then, troopers used a precision immobilization technique to stop the vehicle.
All five people hopped out and three were caught after a brief foot chase.
The Infiniti later was located and discovered to have been stolen from Baltimore, according to the police.
Knox was charged with felony retail theft, evading arrest, flight to avoid apprehension, and false identification. She has been held at the Adams County Prison court records show.
