OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A suburban Kansas City woman has admitted in court that she stole tens of thousands of dollars of stolen clothing and merchandise she was peddling out of her nearly $1 million home.
Forty-six-year-old Kelli Bauer of Overland Park, Kansas, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Johnson County to a felony theft charge. It alleged she stole between $25,000 and $100,000.
Bauer also pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor theft counts.
Bauer was charged last year after police found stolen merchandise in her home during a search prompted her Facebook posting for the private sale of more than 1,000 pieces of “high-end” women’s clothing.
As part of the investigation, detectives also followed Bauer and said they saw her stealing items from several stores.
Sentencing is scheduled for July 20.
