A woman was busted for theft and multiple warrants last Saturday evening by Colma Police, according to a brief given by officials. The incident unfolded around 6:23 pm when officers responded to a call at a business on Junipero Serra Boulevard, where the suspect was allegedly spotted pocketing merchandise.
Cops say she was nabbed as she made her exit from a ladies’ restroom, confirming that in-house loss prevention had her in sight the whole time. The familiar face was no stranger to the Colma PD, who had prior run-ins with her, leading them to recognize the 45-year-old San Francisco native on sight.
Upon inspection, officers didn't just find the merchandise but also drug paraphernalia, a suspected controlled substance, and various burglary tools. Additionally, security sensors from the store were found damaged—a sign of the alleged intent to pilfer unscathed. An announcement on the department’s Facebook page detailed the events and the subsequent inventory of the woman's belongings, unsurprisingly leading to an arrest.
Records revealed that the woman was wanted on two misdemeanors from Colma PD, as well as two more misdemeanors and a felony no-bail warrant from other jurisdictions. Her wrap sheet expanded that day with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, vandalism, and possession of burglary tools. She was slapped with a citation for these charges and booked into the San Mateo County Jail for the outstanding warrants.
