The small, elderly looking lady enters the store. No one would suspect her motives. She sometimes claims to be destitute and homeless, but below the surface her intentions are evil.

The Walmart in Newark was just the latest in Deborah Collier’s shoplifting endeavours. On Monday (9/12) she entered the store, loaded a shopping cart full of assorted items and simply exited the store with $1456.74 of merchandise. Her cart was full of household items such as a Shark vacuum,  seven sets of bed sheets, a dish set, silverware, Kitchen Aide Mixer and dog food.

Collier, age 53, from 150 Thatcher Road in Hornell, NY, claimed to be homeless, living out of her vehicle with her dog. The vehicle windows were rolled down, and there was a dog dish in the 2017 blue Huyundai Elantra, but there was no small black dog to be found.

Collier was turned over to Newark Village Police and charged with Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree.

When Canandaigua Troopers took Collier from Newark Police.  She was charged with another Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree from the August 27 case.
