A shoplifter took a pair of $120 sunglasses and some jewelry from an Oakwood store earlier this month without paying, police said.

Oakwood Police Investigator Todd Templeton is seeking the woman’s identity from a shoplifting incident March 1 at Nest Feathers on Mundy Mill Road.

Templeton said the shoplifter took jewelry and sunglasses from the store before leaving in a brown 2002 GMC Envoy.

“The business was having a hard time providing exact details on the jewelry from the video footage. It will be a misdemeanor charge with a value less than $500,” Templeton wrote in an email.

The Times left a message seeking comment from the owner or manager Friday, March 29.

The case is considered a misdemeanor.

Anyone with information is asked to call Oakwood Police at 770-534-2364.

Hall sheriff’s office receives 40 bags for kids from Gwinnett nonprofit

The Hall County Sheriff’s Office received 40 “adventure bags” to give to children in crisis, a collection of common necessities and toys.

The Gwinnett County-based nonprofit Adventure Bags donated the bags earlier this month.

Items inside the bag often include toiletries, socks, blankets and a stuffed animal.

“Uniform patrol division deputies who come into contact with children in crisis on their shifts can contact their on-duty watch commanders to obtain bags,” sheriff’s office spokesman Derreck Booth wrote in a news release.

The bags were divided between the headquarters and the two precincts.
