WARRINGTON, PA — Police arrested a woman on retail theft and drug paraphernalia charges after incidents at two stores on June 22.
Warrington Police responded to Walgreens for a report of retail theft after store employees reported that a male and female entered the restroom with store merchandise before leaving the store while consuming a beverage they had not paid for.
Officers located Quadir Hurtt, 35, of Philadelphia, at the bus stop in front of Wawa.
During the investigation, Hurtt became aggressive toward officers and was placed under arrest.
The stolen beverage was valued at $5.29.
While officers were investigating, they observed Jade Crystal Gantt, 35, of Philadelphia, exiting Wawa.
Upon noticing the police presence, Gantt turned around and reentered the store before eventually exiting while eating Wawa ice cream.
Officers spoke with Wawa employees, who reported that Gantt had stolen $12.75 worth of merchandise.
She was subsequently placed under arrest.

Both suspects were transported to the Warrington Police Department for processing.
Hurtt was issued a non-traffic citation and released.
Gantt was arraigned by Judge Wertman, who set bail at $100,000.
