A Kunkletown woman has been charged with stealing from the ShopRite in Brodheadsville, according to police.

In the affidavit of probable cause filed by Trooper Robert Russell of the Pennsylvania State Police - Fern Ridge barracks in the case against Nicole Shoemaker:

At 1:11 p.m. Feb. 4, Russell responded to a retail theft in the 100 block of Kinsley Drive, Chestnuthill Township.

While on scene, Russell spoke with a member of ShopRite loss prevention who related that he was reviewing video surveillance, and observed a retail theft occur at around 7 p.m. Feb. 3.
