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

Retail Theft: On April 2 at 3:18 p.m., officers were called to the Kohl’s Department Store to take a report of a retail theft that had occurred on April 1.

It was reported that a female – later identified as Neco Nicholls, 31, of Philadelphia – allegedly placed three watches and two lotions, valued at $553.85, into a Kohl’s plastic bag, and then attempted to return the watches for money.

Later that day, Nicholls allegedly returned the watches at the Andorra Kohl’s and received cash for the items.

Officers were able to determine the identity of Nicholls and an arrest warrant was issued by Whitpain Township. On April 16, she was taken into custody by Philadelphia Police and released to Whitpain officers.

Nicholis was arraigned by District Justice Sobeck and released on $10,000 unsecured bail.
