A North Liberty woman was arrested last week after two separate incidents where she’s accused of stealing nearly $2900 in merchandise from a Coralville store.
The first incident allegedly took place on February 1st at the Von Maur store on the River Landing. 26-year old Zhane Ball of Sugar Creek Lane was seen on surveillance video late that morning with a co-defendant selecting items to steal. Store personnel say she stole $1290 in merchandise that day.
Then on the afternoon of the 5th, Ball returned to the store with a juvenile. Police say Ball stayed in the parking lot with the vehicle running while the juvenile concealed handbags in a large bag and exited the store without paying. The juvenile was allegedly seen getting into Ball’s car and taking off before being stopped by an assisting agency. The value of the merchandise taken in that incident is believed to be nearly $1600.
Ball was taken into custody and charged with 2nd and 3rd degree Theft. If convicted on both counts, she could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.
