Thieves steal newspaper vending machine

Someone, probably two people, stole the large, white metal Press Banner vending machine from the mini-mart on Graham Hill Road last weekend, Aug. 19-20.
“As you know, we distribute our newspaper weekly for free, so money could not have been a motivation. Neither was this a case of vandalism, because the vending machine, valued at between $150 and $250, was carted off.” said Editor Barry Holtzclaw.
“Too big for car, it must have been placed in a van or pickup truck by two people,” he said.
“These thieves interfered with the delivery of your community newspaper. Please join us in protecting our property and catching these criminals.”
