It's a juicy case for Durham detectives who are chewing over how to burst the bubble of the woman who's been stealing thousands of dollars worth of gum.
"It's a sticky case but we've got a couple of gumshoes on it," Durham police Sgt. Paul McCurbin said.
The thief's technique is simple -- she goes to large grocery stores, piles up cases of chewing gum in a cart, covers them with flyers, and then leaves.
She's made off with about $5,000 worth of gum so far, police believe.
She's white, in her 40s, about 5-foot-4 and 130 to 150 pounds with shoulder-length brown hair.
She may be working with a white man, in his 30s, with a medium build and around 200 pounds.
The pair may be driving a newer red Chevy Cavalier.
That, or something from the 1910 Fruitgum Company.
LOL...maybe you're just an unwitting accomplice then. 8>)
semper gumbi.
The pair may be driving a newer red Chevy Cavalier.
Police believe the couple might be heavily armed.
Heh heh heh
"If only our elected leaders would pass more gum-control laws
They'll have to pry my gum from my cold dead teeth."
....uh, no THANKS....!!!!
[eeeeuuuuwwww]
...actually MET Charlton Heston though...nice guy.
Not to blow this out of proportion, but we need to have Bazooka Joe take out that Cavalier.
That guy looks very similar to the guy I bought this computer from.
Yes, he looks very serene.
