PRATTVILLE, AL. (WSFA) - Complaints from a local Target store about strange and fraudulent returns prompted Prattville Police to conduct an undercover sting stemming from a Craigslist listing.

Wetumpka resident Kristy D. Morris, 36, was arrested for receiving stolen property after undercover authorities answered a Craigslist posting to purchase items they believed were stolen from a local Target store.

The Prattville Police Department originally received complaints that unknown females were purchasing electronic items, making a swap, and then returning the packages. The females would buy the electronic item, remove it and replace it with something similar in weight such as flour, brown sugar or baby formula. They would even go so far as to reseal and re-laminate to package to cover up the swap.

They would then return the package for a cash refund and attempt to sell the stolen item.
