A white female standing about 5°5” and weighing | about 170 Ibs. pointed a gun at a store cashier [§ around 8:30 that night and 9 made off with an undis- | a closed amount of money, according to police. No one was hurt in the crime. Family Dollar employees told police that the woman entered the store dressed in a dark-colored shirt and or- ange NYFED or NYPD baseball cap. Police began by examining fingerprint and video evi- dence from the scene of the crime. They’ ve since gath- ered more evidence and developed strong leads in the case. “We’ve two definite persons of interest that we want to speak with,” said Detective Corporal J.T. McDougal. The woman, who appeared to be operating alone, was reportedly driving a grey Dodge quad ¢ab pickup truck. Anyone with additional information regarding this in- cident is encouraged to contact Detective Corporal J.T. McDougal with the Kings Mountain Police Department at (704) 734-0444. > Beware of ‘winning’ scam A Kings Mountain woman who passed away two years ago is still being sent mail at her former Battlefor- est Apartment from a contractor’s network in Cut Off, Louisiana and a securities outfit in Toronto, Ontario in what Apartment Manager Jerry Mullinax calls “a scam.” Checks in the amounts of $3,974.46 and $250,000 supposedly represented the winnings from a DeLotto North American and European sweepstakes lottery. The writer said he deducted $2,230.25 in US dollars from the winnings for taxes and declared that 80 winners of the big lottery shared a total of $250,000 in prize money. The catch: the prize winner was to forward $1,790 through Western Union to a tax agent in Cork, Oreland and “keep this winning confidential.” The last communication to the 210 Cleveland Avenue address mentioned that the prize money was being sent “after many unsuccessful attempts to locate the winner.” Mullinax said that the Kings Mountain tenant moved to Kings Mountain several years ago from Lucasville, Ohio and rented a senior apartment at Battleforest Apart- ments. She passed away two years ago. CE, 303 Phifer Rd. | Kings Mountain (704) 739-CLAY (2529) We believe that you shouldn't have to spend a lot to get the very best in funeral service.
