Cash Stolen from Unmanned Produce Stand

(La Porte County, IN) - A La Porte County man could think twice about using an honor system for people to pay for items at his roadside farm produce stand.

 

Gregory Baker, who lives in the Wanatah area, reported the theft of about $100 from a locked small deposit box he allows customers to slip their money into for produce they purchase from the stand in the area of 1600 South and 1050 West.

 

According to La Porte County Police, footage from his surveillance camera shows an older model Dodge Journey with a dented bumper pulling up and an older woman with no teeth standing for a few minutes in front of the deposit box.

 

Police said nobody else was seen at or near the farm stand before he found the box had been damaged and the money missing.

 

Investigators are hoping to develop leads in the case from the images of the surveillance video, which also revealed two other female occupants were in the vehicle.
