BATESVILLE – A robbery scheme that has been reported in the Cincinnati area has appeared in Batesville.
Authorities say an employee at Dollar General in Batesville received a call from someone posing as a representative from the corporate office Thursday, July 24.
The caller said that he would send a woman to the store to pick up the daily deposit, police said.
An unidentified woman entered the store later in the day and received a deposit totaling around $2,000 from the same employee that spoke over the phone earlier in the day.
