It's not clear whether a woman was actually setting up a household, or if that is just the things she chose to steal, but a local business lost over 300-dollars worth of second-hand clothing and home supplies. According to the clerk at Maw Maw Beas, the woman came in last Monday afternoon about 2 and picked up more than 20 items including a window air conditioner, towels, kitchen utensils, and supplies for a baby's room. She wrote three checks to pay for the items, all on a Bank of America account, but not consecutive check numbers. When the woman left, the clerk got suspicious and called the bank, only to find the account had been closed. She describes the con artist as a Hispanic woman in her late 20's, about 5-feet, 5-inches tall. She gave the deputies the checks, which had the woman's name on them. However, they have not released the woman's name, in spite of waiting a week to release the report of the crime. It is listed as under investigation.
