EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — El Paso County Sheriff’s Office charged a woman they dubbed the “Planet Fitness thief” after they believe she stole several personal items, including credit cards from the gyms’ lockers.

On May 24, Deputies obtained warrants for Ruth Angelica Barraza in connection to 10 different thefts from five Planet Fitness gym locations.

On May 6, at approximately 10:31 p.m. deputies were called to a Planet Fitness at 13681 Gateway West, near Horizon, because of a robbery.
