A Zephyrhills woman has been arrested after attempting to sell thousands of dollars in stolen jewelry to the Cash for Gold pawnshop, located on Eiland Blvd. in Wesley Chapel, in February.
According to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO), Angela Christine Helton, 28, of Zephyrhills, was arrested around 2 p.m. on May 14, after it was discovered that she had sold stolen jewelry to Cash For Gold.
The PCSO report says that Helton was staying with a friend, 51-year-old Grazyna Kowalska, also of Zephyrhills, “to help her out.” Unbeknownst to Kowalska, Helton removed $13,000 in jewelry, including gold and silver necklaces, charms, bracelets and earrings.
