A 19-year-old Quincy woman is facing felony theft charges after Bellefontaine police recovered more than $2,600 worth of stolen property from a home on East Patterson Avenue.
According to a Bellefontaine Police report, officers were called to the home on Monday after a woman reported finding belongings that had been stolen from her home while she was incarcerated.
Police spoke with Tegan Schneider, who admitted bringing the items to the residence.
Officers recovered several belongings, including a television, a vacuum cleaner, and a tattoo kit.
The victim also reported missing jewelry, including her grandmother’s rings, and a washer and dryer.
Schneider told police she had been staying at the woman’s home and moved her belongings because she believed the woman was going to be evicted.
After the victim decided to pursue charges, Schneider was arrested.
During a search, officers found a crack pipe, which Schneider admitted to using to smoke crack cocaine.
She was transported to the Logan County Jail and charged with fifth-degree felony theft and fourth-degree misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police are still working to determine the full value of the missing property.
