A police drone helped officers locate a woman suspected of shoplifting from a northeast Fresno business Friday morning, according to the Fresno Police Department.

Officers responded about 9:05 a.m. to a report of a theft in progress near Cedar and Herndon avenues. With assistance from the department’s Drone as First Responders Unit, officers quickly located and detained a woman matching the shoplifter’s description, police said.

The woman was identified as Keila Henson, 36.

The store manager told officers she saw Henson select merchandise and leave without paying, according to police.

A records check showed Henson had multiple prior theft-related convictions, police said.

She was arrested on suspicion of petty theft with prior convictions and booked into the Fresno County Jail.
