A Texas woman has been arrested for a string of thefts targeting mobile drink orders from Austin restaurants. She would drive to various establishments, collect orders intended for other customers, and then depart without making any payment.
- The woman, identified as Kelsea Dawn Jenkins, allegedly stole numerous mobile drink orders from multiple businesses across Austin. Her method involved arriving at restaurants, claiming to be picking up orders, and then driving away with them. Customers who placed these orders were left without their drinks and often confused, with one customer expressing surprise at the specific drink they believed they had ordered.
- Authorities were able to identify and apprehend Jenkins after reviewing surveillance footage and receiving multiple reports from affected businesses. The police investigation revealed that Jenkins had a pattern of targeting specific types of businesses where mobile ordering is prevalent. The value of the stolen goods is still being assessed, but the repeated nature of the thefts indicates a significant disruption to businesses and customer satisfaction.
