Video captures pocketbook theft from McDonald’s

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help regarding a larceny case that occurred Tuesda in Seneca. A deputy arrived on the scene at the McDonald’s on Sandifer Boulevard just after 10am in regards to reports of a stolen pocket book. The deputy spoke to the complainant, who said she ordered breakfast at the counter. After her order was filled, the complainant sat down at a booth close to the exit on the side of the building closest to Radio Station Road. The complainant told the deputy that she went back to the counter due to the fact that her order was incorrectly prepared and left her purse in the booth. When she returned, she noticed her purse was missing, which was around 9:45am. After speaking with management, the deputy was told that a store video showed a white male place an order at the counter. The male then proceeded over to the area where the complainant was sitting when the complainant returned to the counter to have her order corrected. The video then purportedly shows the male take the purse and exit the store. The video was seen by the deputy which corroborated what he was told by management. The white male was accompanied by a white female. The subjects left the scene in a mid-2000’s white Dodge or Chrysler Caravan with damage which appeared to have damage to the rear left side of the vehicle. The female was reportedly driving the van in question, according to the deputy. Also according to the deputy, the white male was wearing a garnet in color University of South Carolina hat with a light brown jacket with some type of writing on the right sleeve of the jacket. The male also appears to have long hair. The white female had blond hair up in a ponytail and was wearing a zip-up brown in color Hollister jacket that was long sleeve. Both subjects were wearing blue jeans. Both subjects are probably in their late teens to early 20’s, according to deputies.
