The Hartselle Police reported the following for April 8-15:
Investigators from the Hartselle Police Department charged Jessica Renee Hunt and two juveniles with second degree robbery for their involvement in a robbery that occurred in the Morgan Plaza Shopping Center on April 9.
A citizen reported that she was walking through the Morgan Plaza parking lot when a black male approached her and grabbed her purse from her shoulder. She stated that he then ran to a waiting vehicle that was being driven by a white female and they fled the area.
Investigators were able to track the suspects by using witness information and pawn records generated after the suspects pawned some of the contents from the victim's purse.
Investigators also charged one of the juveniles with two additional counts of second degree robbery for his involvement in similar robberies that occurred in Hartselle-one in the Hartselle Wal- Mart parking lot on Feb. 1 and one that occurred in the Hartselle Kroger parking lot on Feb. 8.
The other juvenile was charged with one additional count of second degree robbery for her involvement in the robbery that took place on Feb. 8.
Hunt was taken to the Morgan County Jail and held on a $1,500 bond.
