Police Make Arrest In Toys For Tots Theft

  • {Covington, Kentucky}...Police in St. Bernard, Ohio say two tipsters led officers to search a home in Covington, Kentucky Friday night, where they found an estimated $10,000 worth of toys stolen from a Cincinnati-area Toys for Tots warehouse around Christmas. Early Saturday morning, police found a storage bin in Cincinnati containing more stolen items. In all, police say they recovered about 16 refrigerator-size boxes of toys with a total estimated value of $30,000, along with a stolen microwave oven and a small refrigerator belonging to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve which nationally runs Toys for Tots. Forty-one year old Nathan Rose and 25 year old Jessie Simpson, were jailed in northern Kentucky on charges of receiving stolen property.
