Ball State University Police arrested a Muncie woman in connection to two burglaries from on-campus offices.

Two wallets containing cash, debit and credit cards and other identifying information were stolen.

Investigators with UPD found four orders were placed from online stores and shipped to a house in the 2100 block of East 18th Street.

On Wednesday around 9:30 p.m., UPD investigators executed a search warrant at the address and located Mary Johnson.

Johnson was arrested and preliminarily charged with four counts of fraud, two counts of identity deception and one count of theft.

Inside the residence, police located items that were purchased online and the items taken in the burglaries.

Johnson told police she chose what to purchase with the stolen credit cards.

Police are continuing to investigate after they found large quantities of persons' identifying information.

Johnson was booked into the Delaware County Jail and is being held without bond.
