Adam Thompson and Anne Farrelly, both of Coatesville, are accused of stealing gift cards and cash tips that East Goshen homeowners left out for sanitation workers, authorities said in a release.
Police were dispatched to the area near Tanglewood Drive and Mayapple Lane just after 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 20 about a suspicious vehicle creeping slowly through the neighborhood.
On arrival, officers pulled over a car that matched witness descriptions. Police said they could see gift cards, cash, and envelopes labeled "For Trashmen" scattered through the vehicle.
Both were arrested and now face a litany of misdemeanor theft charges, officials said.
Thompson, 33, remains at the Chester County lockup in lieu of a $2,500 bail bond, state court records show. Meanwhile, the 35-year-old Farrelly was apparently released after posting a $1,500 bond.
Each will return to court on Jan. 23 for a preliminary hearing, according to judicial filings.
