According to Wawa workers, this was not the first time the suspect employed children in her thievery. It was a "common trend," per officials, for her to use minors to execute her crimes.

Hatboro law enforcement has released a photo of the suspect. The image shows a woman with brown hair exiting a vehicle. She is wearing sunglasses, jean shorts and a short-sleeved top.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to call Officer Adam Suder at 215-675-2832.
