LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Pekin, Ind. woman has been arrested after police say she burglarized a number of vending machines at a local hotel.

According to an arrest warrant, Alisha R. Jones, age 23, along with two accomplices, walked into the Wingate Wyndham Hotel on Alliant Court, near the interchange between Blankenbaker Pkwy., and I-64, in Oct. 2011.

While there, they allegedly went to each vending machine on all four floors of the hotel, and opened them up using a multi-purpose vending machine key.

Once they gained access to the machines, police say Jones and her accomplices were able to remove all of the cash from inside the machines.

Their actions were allegedly caught on video surveillance.

Jones' two accomplices -- who were not identified on the warrant -- were later arrested by Jeffersontown Police for similar crimes, according to police.

Jones was arrested late Friday night and charged with third degree burglary.
