Before she was arrested this week for robbing a female shopper's wallet at Market Basket, Julia Konchek made her mark as a lingerie and bikini model.

Konchek, 21, and Kyle Roy, 25, of Gardner, Mass., were arrested on Wednesday night in Portsmouth a day after police say they robbed a female shopper of her wallet at Market Basket on Woodbury Avenue. They were both ordered held on $10,000 cash bail during their arraignments on felony robbery charges on Thursday in Portsmouth Circuit Court.

Portsmouth Police arrested the pair after they say Konchek stole eight DVDs from the Wal-Mart store in Newington. Police pulled over their vehicle in the city on Wednesday and as they were searching it, Konchek and Roy fled on foot and were eventually located in a friend's basement nearby.

Portsmouth Police prosecutors also said that Konchek and Roy are both heroin addicts. During her arraignment on Thursday, Konchek cried as she pleaded with Judge Sawato Gardner to give her lower bail. "I just really want to get my life clean and I'm just so embarrassed," she said.
