Franklin Lakes Woman, 24, Charged With Burglarizing Gas Station

FRANKLIN LAKES, NJ — A borough woman was charged with burglarizing the Delta Gas station a few days ago and stealing hundreds of dollars in cigarettes, police said.

Katerina Pokrovsky, 23, was charged with burglary and theft after police investigated the burglary, which occurred sometime overnight Friday into Saturday, said Capt. John Bakelaar. The gas station is located at the intersection of Franklin Avenue and Lakeside Boulevard.

Pokrovsky allegedly stole $700 worth of cigarettes; the business was entered through a smashed-out garage door window, Bakelaar said. Oakland Police officers assisted with the investigation.

Pokrovksy climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in 2014 with two young men on prosthesis, in an effort to bring attention to the 'I Want to Walk' Movement.
