A Nigerian woman, Akudihor Jennifer has been nabbed for stealing goods worth over $2,000 at Macy Oak Park Mall, in Johnson County, United States.
Akudihor,
who traveled to the United States with her three children on a holiday, was
arrested after a CCTV footage showed her stealing over 50 different items
including clothes and accessories which she hid under the stroller as she tried
to make her way out of the shopping mall.
Akudihor whose passport was seized has been charged with felony
with and bail set at $2,500.
According to the spokesperson for the Overland Park Police
Department, Sgt. Gary Mason, “…she was very apologetic and remorseful, and that
does go a long way, so I think it does help in this situation.”
“Everybody has a story. There is always a lot of reasons why
people do this, and it’s not for us to decide. It’s up to the court and the
judge to look at her case,” he said.
Mason also stated that the reason for the theft is yet to be
ascertained and remains unsure whether she stole the goods or not as no money
was found on her as at the time of her apprehension
“This certainly isn’t the way to go about it. Now she’s going to
have some legal problems that she’s going to have to deal with,” Mason stated. vanguard news
