Police say 18-year-old Brena Sample was arrested on accusations that she broke into a vape shop on Tuesday, stealing over $7,000 worth of merchandise. Police say there were two juveniles with Sample.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should be in bed getting ready for school. That\u2019s what you should be doing,\u201d said customer Nikaya Johnson. \u201cI hope that young lady gets a wakeup call and changes her life around, otherwise things won\u2019t look good for her in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police say Sample and the juveniles can be seen on city surveillance video running from the smoke shop and onto a PRT bus. Police say they found the bus at the intersection of Forbes Avenue and Moorewood Avenue, where Sample was arrested. Sample reportedly had the stolen items inside grocery bags.<\/p>\n
According to the criminal complaint, one of the juveniles with Sample \u201cuttered\u201d to police that they had a gun. Officers located a replica BB gun.<\/p>\n
The shop owner reportedly told police that fixing the damage would cost around $2,800.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just really ridiculous. It\u2019s scary because people put so much hard work in. They work very hard and you don\u2019t know what\u2019s to come,\u201d another customer said.<\/p>\n
Sample was taken to Allegheny County Jail and is facing charges of burglary, criminal mischief and corruption of minors. <\/p>\n
