The resident told responding officers her upstairs neighbor – Anna Laura Stettler, 28 – had come down to borrow some money for food. As the woman went to grab some money for Stettler, the 28-year-old walked in the apartment and asked to borrow the resident’s car. The woman relied “no” and Stettler pulled a knife and took the woman’s car keys, according to a police press release.
Stettler left the area in the woman’s car, police said.
The day after the robbery, Stettler was located at her residence in the borough and arrested, police said.
