Recognize This Woman? There's a Reward For Info: Harford Sheriff

JOPPA, MD — Authorities are asking for help identifying the suspect in a theft at a Joppa market about a month ago. She is accused of taking merchandise from the Joppatowne Flea Market and Amish Farmers Market without paying for it.

Deputies allege the theft occurred at Centsible Way, one of the vendors at the marketplace in the 1000 block of Joppa Farm Road. It sells products like body fragrances and candles. The woman is accused of going into the market, taking merchandise and leaving the premises on Friday, Oct. 26.

Before notifying authorities, the store posted the suspect's picture on Facebook and offered her 24 hours to return the products.

Centsible Way encouraged the woman "to bring back the items she 'forgot' to pay for," but she did not come forward. After that, store personnel notified the Harford County Sheriff's Office.

Now the sheriff's office says there is a reward for information.

The suspect is described as a woman in her late 20s or early 30s who is 5-feet-9-inches tall with black hair and a medium build. At the time of the theft, authorities said she was wearing a pink shirt with gray sweatpants and a black cardigan.

Anyone with information is asked to call Deputy Courtney Upham at 410-612-1717.
