Marlena Velez, 22, was arrested after being accused of stealing $500 worth of goods from the Target department store. The TikToker was captured with the help of a fan who provided information to the police.
According to the *Fort Myers News-Press*, Marlena used fake barcodes to lower the prices of the items she purchased through the store’s self-checkout system.
A follower recognized one of the stolen items and informed the police, who arrested the influencer last Thursday (21).
“Influencers must face the same consequences as anyone else, as their public image does not exempt them from the law,” officer Riley Carter told the *The Express Tribune*.
Marlena Velez already had a criminal record at the age of 17 for stealing a friend’s car. In 2023, she served six months of probation after stealing from a Walmart store.
