A TikTok influencer was arrested Wednesday for stealing about $500 from a Florida Target last month, police said.

Cape Coral Police said officers responded to the store at 1890 NE Pine Island Road in Cape Coral.

Employees told officers that on October 30, 2024, a woman entered the store and took several items that were on sale.

At the self-checkout, the woman did not scan the barcode of the items, but instead scanned a false barcode with cheaper prices, police said in a news release.

An anonymous caller saw the post and possibly identified the suspect as 22-year-old Marlena Velez, a TikTok influencer with nearly 300,000 followers.

Officers found Velez’s account, which contained a video of her wearing the same outfit and glasses as the suspect seen on Target’s video cameras. The video showed her leaving the store the same day the theft was reported, picking out items from Target and placing them in her car after leaving the store.

Cape Coral police concluded that Velez was the same suspect who accused Target of stealing items on Oct. 30. Officers located Velez and booked her into the Lee County Jail on a petty theft charge.
