A woman accused of stealing $1,500 worth of flowers from city-owned planters around Old Colorado City was cited Tuesday for theft near where flowers have repeatedly been taken.

Thefts of hundreds of flowers from planters around the area have been happening at least since summer, police say.

Debra Porzio, 55, was cited when she was spotted near the 100 block of South 24th Street.
