Jessica Short | Chicago Police
CHICAGO – A woman accused of robbing four convenience stores in Chicago in less than an hour this week was ordered to be held on $ 50,000 bail on Saturday.
Jessica Short 21, is charged with two counts of felony theft and two counts of theft after allegedly participating in the thefts of four stores on Thursday morning. Police said Short, who allegedly drove an SUV from theft to theft, was also cited for driving without a license.
Short, a resident of Belvidere, about 75 miles northwest of Chicago, allegedly committed the thefts with an uncharged accomplice, according to the Chicago Tribune. The police had no information about this person.
During the hearing, assistant public defender Courtney Smallwood told Cook County judge Susana Ortiz that Short was on bail for an unrelated assault case when the thefts occurred.
