Athens police try to ID woman with stolen scuba gear
Athens-Clarke police are trying to identify a woman who apparently stole more than $3,000 worth of scuba diving equipment left outside a business off West Broad Street near Beech Haven Drive.
A 52-year-old Deltona, Fla., man reported he left his equipment with a friend, who dropped the items off at the back door of the business at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday.
The equipment, ranging from regulators and gauges to flashlights, fins and diving knife, was in a yellow bag, according to the report.
An employee at the nearby Blind Pig Tavern reported seeing a woman wandering around the business complex apparently looking for “unfinished cigarettes.” Later as the woman was leaving, she was seen carrying a yellow bag.
A security camera showed the woman as a white female wearing a black shirt, jean shorts and white shoes.
