The staff of a store called the police on the afternoon of January 17, 2024. They had just spotted a woman escaping with Stanley bottles enough to fill a shopping cart, without paying for them. "The suspect refused to stop for staff and stuffed her car with the stolen merchandise," the police revealed. She was later stopped by a police officer and arrested for Grand Theft. The stolen items, valued at nearly $2500 (approx INR 2 Lakhs), were recovered from her vehicle.
"While Stanley Quenchers are all the rage, we strongly advise against turning to crime to fulfil your hydration habits," The Roseville Police wrote in a Facebook post. They also shared photos of the merchandise they found. The images show the trunk of the car almost overflowing with various types of Stanley tumblers. Some items were also stuffed near the front seats. Take a look at the post below:
