Jennifer Akudihor at the Johnson County Police Station
A Nigerian woman has been charged with felony theft after she was caught shoplifting while on vacation in the United States.
The accused, Jennifer Akudihor,
had two toddlers and an infant with her, hiding the 66 stolen items
shopping bags and inside the stroller she was pushing through Macy’s at Oak Park Mall in Kansas, KMBC reports.
She has been charged with felony theft.
“The
officer in the report said that she was very apologetic and remorseful,
and that does go a long way, and he put that in the report, so I think
it does help in this situation,” said Gary Mason of the Overland Park Police Department, said.
“Everybody
has a story. There’s always a lot of reasons why people do this, and
it’s not for us to decide. It’s up to the courts and the judge to look
at her case.”
Mason also stated
that it is unclear what motivated the thefts, and whether the items were
taken simply because Akudihor didn’t have money to pay for them.
“This
certainly isn’t the way to go about it. Now she’s going to have some
legal problems that she’s going to have to deal with,” he said.Photo Credit: KMBC
