Stolen Caramel Crèmes Lead to Felony Charges for Local Woman, Police Say

Editor's note: The following items include information provided by the Whitpain Township Police Department. Arrests, where they are mentioned, do not indicate conviction.

Retail Theft: On March 26 at 7:26 a.m., police were called to the Wawa Food Market at 1015 Dekalb Pike for a report of a theft.

An employee reported that Gina Valerio, 22, of the 1400 block of Skippack Pike, had allegedly entered the store, stole at least four bags of caramel crèmes and then left the store driving a burgundy Cobalt with a PA registration. It was also learned that this was not the first time Valerio allegedly stole items from the store, and that the staff was familiar with her because she was previously employed there.

Felony retail theft and receiving stolen property charges were filed because Valerio had previous retail theft convictions. A warrant was later issued for her arrest.

On April 1, Whitpain Police received confirmation from Chester County Prison that Valerio was in custody on an unrelated charge, and she was later detained on Whitpain's arrest warrant.

Police received a report that a black female allegedly stole six electric tooth brushes, valued at $182.94, and then fled the store in a Jeep Liberty.

Through an investigation, it was learned that Everett was the alleged offender, and she later admitted to the theft, the report states.
