The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a recent theft of $1,400 in cash from a home near the western border of the county.
The victim called the department May 15 saying an envelope containing 14 $100 bills was missing from her residence in the 14000 block of Southlake Drive near the border of Jefferson and Franklin counties.
