BROCKTON, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz announced that two Taunton, Mass. women pleaded not guilty to charges that they ran an organized, counterfeit coupon operation.
41-year-old Jacqueline White and 41-year-old Crystal Travis were arraigned on Tuesday morning in Brockton Superior Court. They pled not guilty to one count each of Larceny by False Pretense by Single Scheme, Larceny to Induce Parting with Personal Property. White pleaded not guilty to an additional charge of Aggravated Organized Retail Theft.
Investigators allege that the two women used counterfeit coupons at numerous Stop and Shop stores in Mass., stealing almost $27,000 worth of products. The pair would then ask potential buyers to purchase the stolen goods for steeply discounted prices.
The court ordered a $3,000 cash bail for White with the condition that she stay away and have no contact with Stop and Shop stores in Mass. Travis was released under the condition that she also stay away from all Stop and Shop stores in Mass.
The two women are next scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 20, 2023.
