Shoplifters Hit Rock Bottom At Bottom Dollar
posted (November 11, 2014)
Employees of Bottom Dollar Store say that a couple shoplifted twice from the business place. Getting away with it once, they tried again yesterday, but this time, the security guard was ready for them. So tonight, 29 year-old Bernard Seawell and 29 year-old Shelly Saragosa must pay fines for theft.

Fifty-two year old Francisco Camara, the chief of security of Santiago Castillo Group of Companies, reported to police that two persons were seen on camera stealing items from Bottom Dollar, on North Front Street. The items included 1 Enfamil premium baby milk and 2 Febreze car fresheners having a combined value of $42. That happened on October 27, and the couple got away before a security guard could apprehend them. But they returned yesterday to Bottom Dollar Store and stole one magnum tonic wine, valued at $4.50. This time they were apprehended and handed over to the police.

Bernard Seawell Shelly Saragosa were both charged with theft, and Seawell pled guilty to the charges. He was fined $300 for the first count and $200 for the second count. He was given until January 31, 2015, to pay both fines. If he defaults on payment he will serve 6 months for each count, and the sentences are to run concurrently. The charges were withdrawn from Saragosa.
