Police in Fairfax County, Virginia, say they’ve blended up the end of an unusual crime spree.
An officer with the Mount Vernon Police District pulled over a suspicious rental van on Russell Road in Hybla Valley early on Aug. 24.
Inside were two women, one of whom police said gave a fake name.
Officers soon learned she was 31-year-old Christine Woodson, who has 16 outstanding arrest warrants.
Detectives said they later connected Woodson, who has no fixed address, to a yearlong string of retail thefts totaling more than $10,000.
Her target? Not jewelry, not electronics, but Ninja Slushi appliances, according to police. She primarily hit Target stores across Fairfax County, police said, slipping out with the pricey frozen-drink machines before officers could arrive.
