A woman described as the 'iThief' has been tearing through Texas stealing over 100 iPads at numerous Walmart and Target stores, according to WFAA News.

The woman has hit 36 cities in North Texas, stealing iPads from 28 Wal-Mart stores and eight Target stores. Striking early in the morning she brings the iPads along with groceries to the checkout, slips the iPads into her bag as the groceries are being checked out, and walks out.

The same woman is wanted in crimes all over North Texas and Oklahoma, from Ardmore to the north, to Sherman and Collin County cities like Plano, McKinney and Allen. She has also struck in Rockwall and Terrell, in Lewisville and Denton and in Cedar Hill and Corsicana. Police say she has stolen $57,000 worth of iPads.

"For her to be successful in this number of thefts, she has discovered a way to beat the system," a police spokesman said. If you have any information regarding the thefts you can contact Detective Rob Ballew with the Criminal Investigation Division of the Sherman Police Department at 903-892-7246.
