ROCHESTER — Police said a woman accused of shoplifting arrived in style at a mall in Rochester.
Authorities credit a limousine driver who took the woman to the Apache Mall Monday with helping police find her. According to a press release, Lt. Jim Evenson the 22-year-old woman stole about $300 in merchandise for a sporting goods store in the mall and fought with security officers before running away.
As police searched the area for the suspect, the limo driver stopped and asked officers who they were looking for. When he heard the suspect’s description he told police it might be the woman who had just called for a ride back to Kahler Grand Hotel. Evenson said officers followed the limo driver to the pickup spot and arrested the woman.
