Police arrested a woman in Red Bluff, Calif., after pulling over her car and discovering property that had been reported stolen from a local self-storage facility.
South Main Mini Storage reported a burglary midday March 2. Facility employees reported three men and a woman had pulled up to a unit in a white Dodge Neon, cut a lock, and began loading items into the vehicle before taking off. The stolen items included a metal lockbox containing birth certificates and a marriage license, and three other boxes containing personal property valued at about $500.
About an hour later, police spotted a Dodge Neon that fit the description, stopped the car and discovered the stolen items. Police arrested Deborah Lynn Hendrie, 50, a transient in the Red Bluff area. She was charged with receiving stolen property. Police are still investigating and searching for other suspects.
