Woman Takes Flowers, Runs

The Arlington County Police Department is investigating a reported unlawful entry in the 2500 block of South Arlington Mill Drive in which a woman stole a floral delivery.

Shortly before 5 p.m. Thursday, the unidentified woman accepted and signed for a delivery of flowers in the intended recipient's apartment, according to information police released today.

"It's just odd," police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said.

The victim isn't sure how the woman got inside her apartment, Sternbeck said.

Sternbeck would not say whether the victim ordered the flowers herself or if they were meant to be a gift. But at some point, he said, she realized they were missing and called the delivery company. The company indicated that a woman signed her name for the delivery, he said.

Sternbeck would not name the flower company or say how much the delivery was worth.
