GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - A woman has admitted in court to stealing Salvation Army Angel Tree gifts from area drop-off sites.

Terri Ann Mikula was seen on surveillance video in December taking the toys from several locations around Grand Rapids.

Police say she returned some of the toys to stores for cash.

24 Hour News 8 aired video of Mikula stealing the gifts and she was arrested after donating the remaining toys back to the Salvation Army.

She pleaded guilty Wednesday to larceny in a building and being a habitual offender. She could spend up to 15 years in prison.
