Women Hit Dunkirk Food Barn For 1500 In Cash
Dunkirk city police continued a probe into a $1500 theft at the Food Barn near the Dunkirk Fredonia Thruway exit. Seven women aged 20 to 25 allegedly worked as a team, with two forcing a door to the cafe and others distracting staff while three packets of $500 were taken from the safe. A separate Syracuse report noted a Friday incident where a group stole $20,000 from a food market by diverting manager attention while accomplices looted the office safe.
