OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) - A suburban Kansas City woman is charged with stealing more than $100,000 in merchandise.

The Kansas City Star (https://bit.ly/1Dz0ljH ) reports that a single theft charge was filed Friday against 45-year-old Kelli Jo Bauer. Police have carted off multiple vans full of suspected stolen goods from her $900,000 home in an upscale Overland Park development.

The Johnson County district attorney’s office says police began investigating after they learned Bauer was selling “high-end” women’s clothing on Facebook swap-and-shop sites. A police spokesman says it probably will take several weeks for the items to be cataloged to determine their value.

Defense attorney Scott Gyllenborg requested a reduction of her $50,000 bond at a hearing Friday. Magistrate Judge Dan Vokins set several conditions before lowering her bond to $20,000.
