A female employee of a Shell Station on South Main Street allegedly obtained a new, unused spool of Texas scratch-off lottery tickets from the business, according to Cleburne Police Department reports.
The store’s video surveillance camera later caught the woman cashing in the stolen tickets at the store, according to reports.
Police responded to the store Dec. 25 to talk to the manager. The investigation is ongoing, CPD officials said, and no arrests have been made.
Saltwater spill
Police responded to a Chesapeake Energy gas well site Thursday on a criminal mischief call. An employee at the site, in the 100 block of Thunder Bay Road, told police that unknown persons entered the locked premises sometime between Wednesday and Thursday night and opened several valves on the site’s saltwater storage tanks.
Police determined that an unknown amount of saltwater had been released onto the ground. The spill was contained within the confines of the pad site, according to reports.
