NEW HARTFORD, NY - A 28-year-old Utica woman was charged with stealing from Macy’s department store in New Hartford twice in the same day, police said.

Stephanie Liles was first charged at about 2 p.m. with fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a elony, according to the New Hartford Police.

Police said they arrested her after receiving a report of a woman running out of Macy’s carrying multiple items with security tags still attached. Liles was apprehended in her vehicle after fleeing the scene, police said.

Fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property typically means the items stolen were worth more than $1,000, according to New York state law.

After Liles was released on an appearance ticket, she was ticketed again at Macy’s at about 5:15 p.m. and charged with petit larceny after police said she again took numerous items from the store, police said. Petit larceny is a misdemeanor.
