Mount Vernon C-store victim of short change scam

The Davison County Sheriff’s Office is asking for your help in finding a scam artist. The Sheriff’s Office Facebook page reports that on Tuesday, a person entered Westy’s One-Stop in Mount Vernon and began talking with the clerk. At the end of the conversation the suspect left the store and it was discovered the business was short money, the victim of a short-change scam.

The suspect is described as a black male, late 20’s to early 30’s in age, between five-foot-eight and six feet tall and about 200 pounds.

The suspect accompanied by another black male but no description is available.

The two may be driving a dark colored, early 2000 vehicle, possibly a Honda Accord.
