Illegal Alien Arrested for Felony Theft

(Jacksonville, Florida) A 33-year-old illegal alien, Francisca Torres Lopez Sanchez (plus unknown aliases), was arrested for free bagging more than $20,000 worth of merchandise from her employer, Bealls Department Store. Free bagging is bagging the merchandise and not charging the customer-accomplice. Sanchez had been under surveillance for some time before her arrest.

During interviews, investigators found that Sanchez used several names and ultimately she admitted to being in the country illegally. Additionally, warrants were found to have been issued in other counties for a woman using one of Sanchez's claimed aliases. Detectives are still trying to determine if the woman wanted is none other than Sanchez.

Sanchez faces third-degree felony theft charges. A federal immigration hold order was also placed on her.
