MAY BE THE SAME CULPRIT IN BOOZE AND SMOKES BURGLARIES

The burglar broke through the glass doors in both businesses.
WOMAN LOSES $1,900 IN FAKE COP SCAM
Sioux Falls police are investigating a report that a local woman fell victim to a scam by someone claiming to be a police officer.
Officer Sam Clemens says the fake cop told her she needed to pay money to avoid being arrested for money laundering.
The money laundering charge was bogus.
The 61-year-old victim paid $1,900 in gift cards as demanded.
She provided the card information to the scammer, then realized later that she might have been defrauded.
