Sheriff deputies are following up on a gas drive-off reported Sunday evening at a Wilkes convenience store. The clerk at Pure for Sure in Purlear tells deputies someone drove up in a silver, late 80's model 4-door Dodge car about 6 in the evening. The woman pumped a little over 24-dollars worth of gas, jumped in the car and took off without paying. The clerk described the thief as a white woman, about 5-4, with black hair. She was unable to get a tag number form the car, and did not know the woman. The drive-off remains under investigation.
