Records reveal details from Kan. ‘high-end’ clothing thefts

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — Newly released court documents show that a Facebook post first led police to investigate a suburban Kansas City woman charged with stealing more than $100,000 worth of “high-end” clothing.

The Kansas City Star reports that 45-year-old Kelli Jo Bauer is accused in court documents of using social media to advertise the sale of more than 1,000 items of women’s clothing. The documents say she was arrested this month after undercover detectives posing as customers went to her $900,000 home in an upscale Overland Park development.

Bauer told the police that she was selling the items because she was a “compulsive shopper” and had lost weight.

She is on house arrest as a condition of bond. Defense attorney Scott Gyllenborg didn’t immediately return a phone call fromThe Associated Press.
