Cops: Nab prostitutes hauling off computer after john didn't pay
HOBOKEN - Police picked up two Jersey City prostitutes who snatched a computer in lieu of payment from a customer Saturday, police reports said.
Kristen Carberry, 25, of Sip Avenue, was charged with two counts of theft of property and one count of prostitution, police said. Erica Reiper, 34, of the same address, was charged with one count of theft, one count of prostitution and possession of hypodermic needle, police said.
Police were dispatched to a Park Avenue home after receiving a call at 12:48 p.m. from a neighbor who saw two women leave the building with computer equipment, police said.
The women got into a taxi, but were pulled over by an officer at Second Street and Willow Avenue, reports said. Carberry claimed that she had borrowed the computer, screen and keyboard from a friend and would return it if he would let them go, police said.
Carberry later confessed she and Reiper took the equipment because the victim did not have enough money to pay for sex, reports said.
