Baugh Street Resident Robbed of $2,600
BEREA - A Baugh Street resident tried to help someone out and she was rewarded by losing $2,600 in cash and jewelry.
Police said the incident occurred last Tuesday at 201 Baugh Street when a white male in his 30s knocked on the door of a residence and told the owner, a woman in her 70s, that he used to live in the neighborhood.
After engaging the woman in conversation, police said the woman let the man into her home, at which point he asked her for a dollar. When the woman tried to retrieve the dollar from her change purse, the suspect grabbed the purse and ran out the front door, stealing cash and two diamond rings that were in the purse.
According to police, the suspect was described as a white male in his 30s, 6', slim build, wearing a ball cap, blue jeans, and blue jean jacket.
Captain Ken Clark of the Berea Police Department reminds citizens to always be cautious, especially when it comes to inviting people into your home.
"If you don't know somebody, don't let them into your house," Clark said. The case is under investigation.
In other news, unknown suspects broke into Lakes Funeral Home on Oct. 22 at 205 N. Dogwood Drive. Police said the suspects stole two laptop computers, a desk top computer with a wide screen, and a digital camera. The value of the lost property was estimated at $3,450, according to police.
