KENNETT SQUARE, PA — A 52-year-old woman is facing multiple charges after authorities allege she stole thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise from several retail locations across Pennsylvania, including a store in Kennett Square Borough.
According to the Kennett Square Police Department, Chanel Green was being held at Northampton County Prison as of August 11, 2025. A preliminary hearing in District Court 15-3-04 was scheduled for today, August 20, 2025.
The charges stem from an incident on April 5, 2024, when officers were dispatched to the 100 block of South Mill Road in Kennett Square for a delayed report of retail theft. Investigators reviewed security footage that allegedly showed a woman entering a store, taking a box of diapers, and leaving without payment. The same woman later returned carrying a large reusable shopping bag and allegedly left the store again with additional merchandise.
Police report that the total value of stolen goods from the Kennett Square location was estimated at $4,465.11. Further investigation linked the same suspect to two additional thefts at retail stores in Quarryville and Harrisburg on the same day. Loss prevention personnel later identified the suspect as Green based on video footage and an internal theft alert.
Green has been charged with the following offenses:
- Retail theft
- Theft by unlawful taking or disposition
- Receiving stolen property
Authorities confirmed that the arrest warrant was originally issued on April 22, 2024, by District Court 15-3-04.
All charges are allegations. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
