Thieves Raid Elderly Woman's Underwear Drawer

A Dacula woman is $1,650 poorer after falling victim to two thieves.

The Tanner Road resident said she was getting ready for bed on April 8 when a young male, approximately 18-22 years of age, knocked on her door. The woman thought the man knew her 81-year-old husband because he "mentioned something about the roof."

The woman let the man into the house and led him to the living room where her husband was. A few moments later, the woman heard another knock at the door. When she opened the door, a young female, who said she was friends with the male, asked if she could use the restroom. The woman let the female enter the house and showed her to the bathroom. A few minutes later, the female came out of the bathroom, went outside and was soon followed by the male.

"[The woman] stated she was suspicious of the suspect so she went in to her bathroom because she had money hidden in her underwear drawer," the officer wrote in the report. "[The woman] stated the envelopes that her cash was in were empty."

The envelopes, according to the woman, contained over $1,650.

The male and female left in a small, white pickup truck. Neither the woman, nor her husband were able to provide any additional details.

The case is listed as active.
