Police arrested a 40-year-old woman for burglary after she and an unidentified man stole approximately $1,500 worth of items from an acquaintance.
The victim called police around 2:10 p.m. after he observed Jamie Smith entering his home around 7:25 a.m. Friday using his home security system, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Brandon Siniard said. Smith used a key to enter, but the victim claimed he had never given her a key.
Smith and the other suspect took a black RCA tablet, a 32-inch television, a watch, a speaker, Bluetooth headphones and clothing items valued at approximately $1,500. The two left the home around 8:35 a.m., Siniard said.
Police made contact with Smith over the phone after speaking with the victim, Siniard said. She told police she had gone to the victim’s residence with a friend to retrieve items that belonged to her. She said it was the friend’s idea to steal the items.
Siniard said police arranged an interview with Smith at 9 p.m. at the BPD station. Police interviewed her and arrested her on burglary charges at the station. Smith did not give any information to identify the other suspect.
