In a call to action, the McAllen Police Department is urging the public to assist in the apprehension of a woman believed to be involved in a series of shoplifting incidents. Heidi Denise Gonzalez is wanted for allegedly stealing merchandise from two different locations on three separate occasions between December 12th and February 17th.
The string of thefts has put local businesses on high alert, and law enforcement officials are determined to put a stop to Gonzalez’s alleged criminal activities. “We are seeking the community’s help in locating Ms. Gonzalez. Anyone with information is encouraged to come forward,” stated a representative from the McAllen PD.
The police have released surveillance images of the suspect in hopes that someone will recognize her and provide valuable information leading to her capture. McAllen Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for tips that result in an arrest.
