A man called the police after two women claiming to sell magazines stole his wallet off of his counter after he let the women into his home. 22-year-old Jessica Rosenengal of Florida and 21-year-old Starla Harjo of Oklahoma were arrested a short distance from the crime. They admitted to stealing the wallet and said they had thrown it away. The wallet was later located where the women said they had thrown it, according to police.
The two young women have been charged with grand larceny and peddling without a permit. Harjo was also charged with possession of marijuana. Both women were arraigned and held on $7,000 bail. Police Lt. Thomas Gerace advised the public, "Always ask to see a permit to solicit before dealing with anyone selling door to door," and "Never let a stranger into your home."
