By Howard B. Owens

Three residents of Batavia, including a father and daughter, are being held in Wayne County Jail after being identified as suspected shoplifters at the Walmart in Macedon.

Two of the suspects are charged with petit larceny and accused of stealing HP All-in-One Desktop printers, with a retail value of $350 each.

Macedon police say the suspects match those of people seen on the video stealing the printers.

There were not arrested until this week for the alleged crime Nov. 24.

Justine McWethy, 27, and Christina Deluna, 24, were stopped by a Macedon police officer and when asked for identification, they allegedly provided false names. 

The officer was able to determine their identities and found they were both wanted on several warrants in various jurisdictions. 

Justine's father, 46-year-old Mark McWethy, was later located in Macedon Town Court. He was reportedly waiting for a court appearance at the wrong time.

Justine McWethy is charged with false personation, criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument and petit larceny.

Deluna is charged with false personation and criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument.

Mark Mcwethy is charged with three counts of petit larceny and felony burglary. 

All three are being held pending their next court appearance in Macedon on Dec. 30.
