Theft of Beer from Stores.
Report filed on Thursday, January 11, 2007 - 18:57 :: Reports
A young male has stolen cases of beer from two local stores.
A young male has been involved in the theft of a case of beer from two local stores, Weber's and Sweet Springs, in the past week.
The male was seen driving a turquoise Neon with possible MD plates and may now be living somewhere in The Mountain area.
In both thefts, he parked his vehicle so that the plate # could not be readily seen, walked into the store, grabbed a case of beer and quickly left. A female was waiting in the car at Sweet Springs. In the Webers incident, a male accomplice was with him.
The Sheriff's Dept. and SSP are interested in getting a vehicle plate # and a location on this suspect so that he may be stopped before there is another deadly DUI incident in the area.
Anonymous info may be sent by clicking on the "Contact" tab at the top of this page. THANKS.
