Flim Flam Paint Robbery Ties to North Augusta Cells
In Tennessee a series of flim flam operations and a county robbery point to a North Augusta South Carolina link. Sheriff spokesmen say three painters charged a farmer $1 260.60 for roof work after $20 000 was taken from him and his 91 year old father discovered the theft. Local authorities report cars and licenses traced to North Augusta with several suspects later located in Kingsport and Morristown, while Aiken County says they have no knowledge of the case. The Kingsport sale involved a similar ruse yielding 1450 dollars from Ray Calhoun on a tobacco barn and two roofs.
