PFLUGERVILLE, TX — Police on Friday said they arrested a woman seen on store surveillance cameras stealing expensive sunglasses from a store.

Torina Gutierrez, 40, was arrested after being located, police said. She has been charged with one count of theft, a state jail felony.

Earlier, police released the footage in the hopes members of the public might recognize her and alert police. It appears the tactic paid off, judging from a police shout-out to the citizenry: "A special thanks to the citizens who provided tips on this case."
