A woman turned herself in to police Wednesday after a store surveillance video captured footage of two children sneaking behind display cases to steal thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, apparently on instructions from their mother and grandmother.
Bedford police made the video public this week and started getting tips minutes after it aired on local television.
The video, taken August 2 at a store called the Consignment Gallery, shows one woman, possibly the children’s mother, directing them to pocket certain items. An older woman, believed to be the grandmother, stuffs items down her shirt.
“It’s pretty upsetting,” Fleming said. “Watching the children methodically move through that jewelry area and take the items out for the mother is just astonishing.”
Bright kids — in a crooked family. What a wonderful future they have. Charmers.
