29-year-old Anna Santaniello, a Special Ed. teacher at Charlotte Park Elementary School in Nashville, TN, was seen shoplifting at the Target stores on White Bridge Pike and Charlotte Pike five times between January 3rd and February 21st. The stores provided law enforcement with surveillance footage of the incidents showing Santaniello not scanning items at self-checkout. On January 3rd, Santaniello was seen leaving without scanning $11.59 of merchandise. On January 7th, Santaniello left without paying for $20.99 of merchandise. On February 13th, Santaniello was seen leaving the store without paying $21.97 for merchandise. Finally, on February 21st, Santaniello failed to pay for $35 worth of merchandise. The thefts resulted in $139.55 of merchandise stolen from both Target stores. Officers identified Santaniello from the guest services reward number she entered at checkout. Her account belonged to her mother, so officers found her Facebook and driver’s license. Officers then used security footage and the newly discovered information to identify her for the crimes. Santaniello was taken into custody and charged with theft of property.
On August 14th, Officers were dispatched to the Target on White Bridge Pike for another shoplifting incident involving Santaniello. When officers arrived and spoke with a loss prevention employee, he informed them that Santaniello was caught stealing $63 worth of school supplies. The employee provided officers with a video of Santaniello attempting to leave the store with the items she didn’t pay for. After being Mirandized, Santaniello confessed that she intended to steal all the items, so she was taken into custody and charged with theft of property on August 14th.
Anna B. Santaniello of Charlotte Avenue in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 14th, charged with two counts of theft. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $1,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave her pre-trial release from their facility.
