WANTED: Police Looking For Two Mums Who Left Two Girls Behind After Stealing From A Supermarket
The police are looking for two mums Jessica Barker, 31, and Kristen Grodetz, 25 for allegedly stealing from a supermarket and leaving two 11-year-old girls behind.
The Orlando Sentinel reports:
The incident unfolded when Jessica Barker, 31, and Kristen Grodetz, 25, both from Lee County, were shopping Sunday at the Blake Boulevard store with three children – a 3-year-old and two 11-year-old girls, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
The two women put $476 worth of food and other products in a shopping cart and began to walk out of the store without paying, deputies said.
When a store employee confronted them, they quickly fled the store with the 3-year-old, but not the two older girls.
“The kids were right there with them,” said sheriff’s spokeswoman Twis Lizasuain. “They just walked out and said they would be back, but never returned.”
The girls had contact numbers for the two women. One of the women answered when the police called and said she would come to get the kids, but after waiting for a few hours she never came back, the police said.
Police then called the Department of Children and Family Services, which took custody of the children.
Barker and Grodetz have not been arrested. The Lee County Sheriff’s Office were not able to locate the women.
They are charged with grand theft, child neglect and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Barker is on probation for grand theft in Sarasota County, according to the Florida Department of Corrections.
