Florida 'Don Julio Bandit' allegedly stole more than $2,500 in premium liquor, arrested for multiple crimes

The infamous "Don Julio Bandit" has been arrested in Florida after she allegedly stole $2,540 in premium liquor. 

Police say the woman has an extensive criminal history and has multiple warrants out for her arrest for various crimes in another state, as well. 

Who is the ‘Don Julio Bandit?'

The backstory:

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office first warned residents about the Don Julio Bandit on Tuesday, Feb. 25.

In the social media post, deputies asked for the public's help in identifying a woman who was seen stealing from a Circle C Liquor Store on Feb. 20.

Surveillance video caught the woman putting liquor bottles into multiple green Publix bags, reports show.

The woman then casually walked out of the store with $2,540 worth of Don Julio Real Tequila and Hennessy Cognac, deputies said.

What we know:

Officials later identified the "Don Julio Bandit" as 35-year-old Amanda Conner, who is from Virginia.

Through an investigation, detectives said they also discovered Conner had an extensive criminal history, which includes forgery, possession of narcotics, theft and use of ID to defraud. 

Reports show Conner also had warrants out for her arrest in Virginia, and she is suspected of various crimes across nearby counties. 

Deputies said Conner had been "out there collecting crimes like they're limited-edition tequila bottles."
