A woman in Oakland, identified as Brezjana Wilson, is facing charges for two high-profile thefts. In January 2024, she allegedly rappelled into a North Face store, stealing $20,000 in merchandise. Two months earlier, she reportedly set fire to a Target store in Emeryville to escape with stolen items. Police linked her to both crimes through DNA evidence and recognition by a loss prevention investigator. Wilson, 29, has been released from jail on her own recognizance. She is scheduled to appear in court on February 28 to enter a plea.
