Suspects take Slim Jims in back-to-back thefts

DAYTON – Back-to-back days of being arrested for succumbing to the allure of Slim Jims by lifting them without paying at convenience stores on Wayne Avenue and East Fifth Street, were not enough to stop a male (and female on the first offense) from further five-finger discount mayhem.

Both times they were taken to the Montgomery County jail, but the incarceration time for stealing Slim Jims is, well, slim.

A couple days later, the pair flagged down a citizen at 1:20 a.m. in the 500 block of Pritz Avenue, saying they were out of gas.

The next thing the citizen knew, his wallet was grabbed with $20 and a credit card taken as the man and woman hopped out.

Not one to be careful with her possessions, the woman left her purse in the car. She was later located and rebooked into the Montgomery County jail.
