Arnold Police are investigating a recent vehicle break in at the Flamm City boat access. Someone broke out a window to get into the vehicle and stole a purse that contained about $300 in cash, debit and credit cards, checks and other items, a police report said.
It looked like the culprit also tried to pry open a door to the vehicle. The stolen items were valued at $600. Then, after the theft, someone used the debit cards in Arnold to make purchases totaling $402.95. The cards also were used in St. Louis, the report said.
