A TikTok influencer was arrested Wednesday for stealing around $500 from a Florida Target last month, police said. 

The Cape Coral Police Department said officers responded to the store at 1890 NE Pine Island Road in Cape Coral. 

Employees told officers that a woman entered the store on Oct. 30, 2024 and grabbed multiple items that were on sale. 

At the self-checkout register, the woman did not scan the items’ barcodes but instead scanned a false barcode with cheaper prices, police said in a press release.

There were 16 items of miscellaneous household goods and clothing that were stolen, valued at just over $500. 

The Cape Coral Police Department posted the suspect’s photo on its Facebook and Instagram page to assist with identification.

An anonymous caller saw the post and gave the suspect’s possible identification as 22-year-old Marlena Velez, a TikTok influencer with nearly 300,000 followers.

Officers found Velez’s account, which included a video of her wearing the same outfit and glasses as the suspect seen on Target’s video cameras. The video showed her picking out items inside Target and placing them in her car after exiting the store on the same day as the reported theft.
