Pair face retail theft charges

They're accused in 2 incidents

CRANBERRY TWP — Two suspects are facing charges related to two alleged incidents of retail theft at the Lowe’s store in the township.

According to district court papers, Jared Adam Pakler, 25, of Pittsburgh, and Jena Leigh Nowry, 28, of Ambridge, are facing multiple charges related to two incidents at the store on Route 228.

Police allege the duo entered the store on Oct. 6 and Oct. 14, and in both instances filled a shopping cart with items that they then tried to return for a refund without a receipt.

On Oct. 6, the pair reportedly returned $290 worth of goods and got a gift card valued at more than $290 before leaving the store.

Nowry is alleged to have used a Pennsylvania driver’s license with her former name on it to obtain the gift card.

On Oct. 13, the pair returned to the store and allegedly used the same method to return more than $252 in goods in a cart, once again getting a gift card.

Pakler allegedly displayed the driver’s license of another man, according to court papers.

Nowry is charged with suspicion of criminal conspiracy, identity theft, organized retail theft, retail theft and receiving stolen property.
