2 Stores, 2 Arrests, And A Trip To Jail In Warrington

WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — A Philadelphia woman is facing felony charges after she was caught stealing from two township stores.

On June 22, Warrington Police were called to the Walgreens store for the report of a retail theft after store employees reported that a man and a woman entered the restroom with store merchandise before leaving the store while consuming a beverage they had not purchased.

Officers quickly located 35-year-old Quadir Hurtt, of Philadelphia, at a bus stop in front of Wawa. During the investigation, Hurtt became aggressive toward officers and was placed under arrest. The stolen beverage was valued at $5.29.

While officers were investigating, they observed 35-year-old Jade Crystal Gantt, of Philadelphia, exiting Wawa. She was identified as the other person at Walgreens.

Upon noticing the police presence, Gantt turned around and reentered the store before eventually exiting while eating Wawa ice cream.

Officers spoke with Wawa employees, who reported that Gantt had stolen $12.75 worth of merchandise. She was subsequently placed under arrest.

Following her arrest, Gantt informed officers she had left a bag in the Wawa restroom. Officers retrieved the bag and, during a search, discovered two glass smoking pipes containing burnt residue.

Both suspects were transported to the Warrington Police Department for processing. Hurtt was issued a non-traffic citation and released.

Gantt was arraigned by Judge Wertman, who set bail at $100,000 (10 percent cash). After she was unable to post bail, Gantt was transported to the Bucks County Correctional Facility.

She is charged with retail theft and receiving stolen property, both third-degree felonies, and a misdemeanor count of prohibited acts.
