CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Two people are facing dozens of felony charges after police say they stole a woman’s wallet and bought thousands of dollars worth of gift cards.
It started at the TJ Maxx in Cranberry Township. Police say a woman flagged down an officer and told them she’d been robbed.
Yury Gomez-Martinez and Brayan Sanz-Saavedra were arrested after their car was spotted in South Strabane Twp.
The crime surprised frequent shoppers at TJ Maxx and the nearby Target where the pair bought some of those gift cards.
“It’s something I would never do and it’s something I know a lot of people here would never do. Certainly, no one around here. I never thought that’d be possible,” Ryan Locke said.
Gomez-Martinez and Sanz-Saavedra are facing 24 felony counts each including theft, conspiracy and receiving stolen property.
