On May 12, 2026, Warrington police say two women filled a shopping cart with $724.76 in merchandise at Walmart and attempted to leave without paying. Investigators traced the vehicle registration to a Philadelphia business and identified 38-year-old Lynea Coles; after an officer called on June 26 and the call ended abruptly, an anonymous tip led Moorestown police to take her into custody on July 27. Coles was processed and arraigned in Warrington on August 3 on charges of retail theft and receiving stolen property, with Judge Wertman setting $50,000 unsecured bail; charges are allegations and she is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
