Brookline Woman Charged in Whitehall AutoZone Theft

A Brookline woman is accused of stealing money and merchandise from the
AutoZone on Route 51 in Whitehall Borough, where she was an employee.

Whitehall police Chief Donald R. Dolfi said Danielle Hibbs, 36, of Brookline, was charged with retail theft after the store's loss prevention officer reported last week that Hibbs, an employee of the store, was caught taking money from the store's register and stealing merchandise.

The approximate value of the cash and merchandise taken was $87. The theft occurred across numerous incidents during an unspecified period of time, but "it came to a head" on Thursday, Dolfi said.

A summary trial is scheduled for May 24 at 9 a.m. before Magisterial District Judge David J. Barton.
