I'm not sure what this theory is, but I can provide a possible explanation for her involvement in dealing with Roman. The local law encorcement likely requested help from Beacon to deal with several armed robberies throughout the city, since they could only reach so many. Glynda decides she could get across the city quicker and elects to head for the furthest point still on the mainland, the upper district, where she finds the gunship loading up with Roman in tow.

My thoughts on this tie into this map that Roman had in his warehouse. There was 6 X's and 5 circles marking this map. Three of these X's are inside the commercial district where the "Cops" are stationed, one is in the agriculture district where the "Dumb Cops" are stationed, one is in the Upper District, and one is on the island. This tells me that these X's were places where a attempted robbery was intercepted, and the O's are places where his plunder was not interuptted. The island must be where the first line of defense for the capital is, so responding to the threat would've been simple. The cops would get to everything they could manage, but the "Cops" stopped three incursions while the "Dumb Cops" only stopped one, and not even the one in the industrial district. That leaves the "Upper Class" district, and because there is a O between the "Cops" and the Upper District, it means the Cops couldn't get there to stop the heist. That means that X, is where Roman went and where Ruby and Glenda cut his robbery short.

The theory makes sense to me if Roman's goal is to attack the city. The Dust is a nice grab, but what he really wanted to do was test how the city reacted to a mass robbery. As for why they continued to keep stealing Dust, maybe the White Fang needs it for something in particular, on that we'll have to wait and see.
