Kayla C. Rodriguez is accused of conspiring with her boyfriend in the Hackettstown robberies.
The woman who authorities say set up the victims in a pair of robberies last June in New Jersey has been arrested in her native Pennsylvania.
Scranton resident Kayla C. Rodriguez, 20, was taken into custody Thursday in the city by a joint task force, according to a news release from police in Hackettstown, where the robberies took place.
Rodriguez on two dates in June allegedly helped her boyfriend, 20-year-old Franklin L. Williams Jr. of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., commit the crimes. On June 19, she allegedly scouted a friend's home and alerted Williams when he could enter. On June 27, police say she called a friend to help her with her car, and an armed Williams ambushed him.
Rodriguez -- who was Warren County's fugitive of the week Dec. 2 -- is charged with two counts of robbery, one count of burglary and conspiracy charges. She is awaiting extradition to Warren County, where her bail has been set at $250,000.
Williams was arrested Nov. 30 and is charged with two counts of robbery, one count of burglary, aggravated assault, attempted kidnapping and related charges. He was released under 24-hour medical care while he awaits a court date, police said.
Officers from Scranton, Hackettstown and Washington Township, Warren County, aided in Rodriguez's arrest.
