All shoplifting charges have been waived for Bucks County Common Pleas Court against a Horsham woman who has four prior convictions for retail theft and is presently accused of shoplifting multiple times from Target.
Lisa Dracup, 63, of the 400 block of Avenue A, moved two felony charges of retail theft and a felony charge of receiving stolen property to an arraignment in April after waiving a March 17 preliminary hearing.
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.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
