CINCINNATI -- A woman who police say posed as a yoga student to steal wallets is slated to go before a judge Friday.

Lashonda Miller faces charges from cases in Cincinnati, Norwood and Blue Ash.

Investigators said Miller pretended to be a yoga student and then stole purses from other students.

Police arrested her at Modo Studio in Crescent Springs, Ky. A dozen other yoga studios also came forward.

Miller will have hearings in two different courtrooms Friday on several charges.

In Hamilton County, she faces charges including burglary, theft and misuse of a credit card. Her bond was set earlier at $30,000.

Her second hearing is a non-jury trial on charges of misuse of a credit card.

Owners of several yoga studios we talked to say they've taken new security measures to prevent a similar crime from happening.
