As soon as the matter was reported to the South Lake Tahoe police department, near the border with Nevada, officers came into swift action. They reached the Safeway store to find that the suspect has also hoarded numerous jewellery pieces from the store. Chris Fiore, spokesman for the South Lake Tahoe police department, near the border with Nevada, said officers located the suspect, identified as Jennifer Walker.

The woman was found walking inside the store with a shopping cart full of items, including meat and liquor, which she had no means to purchase.
