Thief forces way into Unionville businesses

Posted

Two businesses were forcibly entered in the Unionville area early Tuesday, the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office said.  

  • Approximately $600 was stolen from Nash Family Creamery, U.S. 41A North, during the same period. Security video shows a man wearing a hoody, pants, gloves and a backpack breaking a window and heading straight for a location where money was taken in a burglary approximately six weeks ago.
  • Video footage shows the same man throwing a cinder block through a window at the Marathon convenience store on U.S. 41A North in Unionville. Nothing was taken, the report said. An alarm sounded at 3:40 a.m.

Child abuse arrest  

The guardian of the 10-year-old girl reported missing from a U.S. 41A South home Sunday has been charged with child abuse. Elizabeth Johns was allowed to leave the jail after being booked. No bond was set. Johns is not the girl’s birth mother. The girl was found at midday Monday hiding under a neighbor’s porch.  

Theft  

Tools and other items were stolen from a Kingston Corner Road over the past money by a woman staying there while the resident was in jail, the Bedford County Sheriff’s Office was told.
