Police Seek Woman In Theft of Convenience Store Coffee Beans

WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) -- Police in suburban Philadelphia say they have grounds to believe a one-woman string of thefts across four states has been brewing for months and want the public's help in finding her.

West Goshen Township Police in West Chester said Wednesday the suspect has stolen more than $3,000 worth of coffee since the start of 2016 from Wawa convenience stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.

Authorities say she's been taking bags of coffee from one store, then returning them for cash refunds at other stores.
She's suspected in as many as 50 coffee thefts.

Police say she's been known to wear scrubs, so she might have some sort of job in health care. She's been seen driving a silver sedan and a maroon SUV.
