Butler Co. Woman Accused Of Stealing Decorations

CRANBERRY (KDKA) ― Police say a local woman took truckloads of Halloween decorations and potted plants from a number of residents' homes in the Cranberry Township and Seven Fields areas over the last few weeks.

Cranberry Township police responding to a call of a minivan driving with its lights off on Waterview Drive last Friday night, found a vehicle matching its description speeding on a nearby road.

After a brief chase, officers stopped the vehicle on Rochester Road. According to police, the 44-year-old woman's minivan was filled with Halloween decorations and potted plants.

A search of the woman's house revealed "several truckloads" of decorations and flower pots.

The woman, who has not been identified, is facing charges. The investigation, however, is still ongoing.

In the meantime, Cranberry Township Police say anyone who had items stolen can pick them up at the police station after identifying them.

As for the woman's motivation, Cranberry Township's Public Safety Director Jeff Schueler says she apparently just wanted to decorate for Halloween.
