A Claremore woman who police say admitted to stealing from more than 30 vehicles faces 12 counts of third-degree burglary.
District Attorney Matt Ballard’s office has also charged Brittney Wolfe, 27, with knowingly receiving or concealing more than $1,000 in stolen property and obstructing an officer. All charges but the last are felonies.
According to Claremore Police Department records, Wolfe stole a trail camera, power tools, car keys, a drone, cash and more between late January and early March. During that period, officers responded to 15 theft calls the police department connects to Wolfe.
Most of the calls summoned officers to Eason Collision Specialists, an auto body shop, or Jack Kissee Ford, a car dealership. According to police records, Wolfe confessed during her March 12 arrest to stealing from more than 30 vehicles. Wolfe also took items from vehicles parked at Suburban Chevrolet and the Claremore Electric Department building, according to her arrest affidavit.
“Wolfe admitted to entering the parking lots of those places with the intent to look for unlocked vehicles to enter and steal property from,” the affidavit reads.
All four locations are within a mile of the Ramm Road address police records list as Wolfe’s.
According to records, officers connected Wolfe to the car burglaries after a man called police on her March 10. That day, a man named Dillion Purdum reported he’d seen a woman trying to force her way into an RV parked outside a home on West Danny Street.
Purdum told Officer Hagin Bolay the woman was wearing his ball cap, which had gone missing from his car Feb. 28.
“Dillion confronted Wolfe about the hat and she threw it at him before fleeing on foot,” reads the arrest affidavit. “Dillion also provided Officer Bolay with a photo he took of Wolfe as she fled and Officer Bolay was also able to confirm it was Wolfe from previous encounters.”
Later that day, according to police records, officers executed a search warrant at Wolfe’s home. They found property reported stolen from cars parked at Jack Kissee Ford and the other locations; the property value is “well over” $1,000, police said.
Two days later on March 12, Officer Anzel Chau arrested Wolfe at a home on East Will Rogers Boulevard on a felony charge of knowingly concealing stolen property. Wolfe confessed to stealing from at least 30 vehicles, and after officers took her to her home, she showed them items she said she’d taken from unlocked cars.
According to court records, Wolfe will face a preliminary hearing May 5 at 9 a.m. at the Rogers County Courthouse.
