Lisa Dracup, 63, of the 400 block of Avenue A, Horsham, who has four prior convictions for retail theft, has been charged again for the crime, this time a felony count, as well as felony receiving stolen property for allegedly shoplifting multiple times from Target.
On Dec. 6, at 9 p.m., loss prevention at the 401 Easton Road store in Warrington Township called police to report a past retail theft, committed by Dracup, police said.
Target loss prevention had already identified Dracup before police arrived, per the criminal complaint. The reason: She allegedly had been to the store on five occasions where she failed to scan multiple items at the self-checkout, for a total loss of $168.61.
According to the complaint, Dracup entered the store on Oct. 2, and shoplifted $16 worth of dog food. Ten days later, she allegedly returned and stole $11 worth of trash bags. On Dec. 3, she arrived a third time, where she allegedly shoplifted $57 in items, and returned the next day to allegedly steal $48 worth of merchandise.
On Dec. 6, police said Dracup stole $36 worth of items. Exterior surveillance cameras caught Dracup placing the stolen merchandise into a trunk of a black sedan before leaving the lot, police said.
A registration check of the car came back to Dracup, per the complaint. Authorities matched Dracup’s license photo to the suspect on surveillance images, police allege.
Dracup is free on $5,000 unsecured bail, per court records.
