Fooled and Fooled by a Providence Shoplifter
An elderly woman described as Annie Lynch of Westminster street Providence was arrested by Inspector Joe Knox on shoplifting charges and awaits investigation of her antecedents. The case follows a prior episode involving Hannah Crowley who claimed funds were stolen from her satchel after drawing from a bank. Crowley was later found to have withdrawn the money herself. Knox observed Crowley attempting to steal gloves, leading to a pursuit that ended in her identification and headquarters interrogation. Police believe Crowley’s visits to Pemberton square in September aimed to learn inspectors’ habits.
