Hijinx

Here are the best worst criminals of the week.

COPLEY: Following an investigation by detectives at a Montrose sporting goods store, a manager admitted taking $2,983 from the store during her employment by using fake return receipts. She turned herself in to police June 13 and was charged with theft.

FAIRLAWN: On June 15, a Richfield woman reported that she was shopping with her three children in a West Market Street discount drug store when her purse was stolen from a shopping cart. Later that day, the manager of an Akron grocery store located several miles away called the victim to say he found her wallet in a shopping cart in his store. He said a suspect left the wallet behind while fleeing the store after attempting to steal another purse. Police are reviewing store video surveillance tape to identify the suspect.

A note to purse snatchers: Don't leave behind evidence in shopping carts; that's just plain sloppy.

NORTON: Detectives investigated a June 17 report stating that a Norton man had left the country, said he would be gone for six weeks and gave his juvenile son $20 to live on during that time. The youth had been staying with friends and living on the street. It is rumored his father is not planning to return. Police located the victimÂs mother, who picked him up and said she would attempt to attain custody of him.

There's nothing like some crazy people to make your life seem more normal.
