Authorities say a woman has been arrested in a months-long series of thefts in which more than $3,000 worth of bagged coffee was taken from Wawa stores around the region.

Rebecca Julian, 48, of Wilmington, admitted stealing the coffee and making fraudulent returns in an interview with detectives Friday, West Goshen Township police said.

Police had released surveillance images of the theft suspect this week, saying she would steal bags of coffee from one Wawa, then take them to another location and return them for cash.

She allegedly stole coffee 40 to 50 times, according to police. The thefts had been happening at stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland since early this year.

Police said charges were pending.
