THOMAS COUNTY, Ga. (WCTV) - Three people were arrested after a Thomas County business owner reported a theft from his business.

The sheriff’s office estimates that more than $250,000 was stolen over the span of nearly a year.

Two store employees, Annequenita Williams and Angela Grier, were arrested, and Edward James “Red” Lamons has also been arrested in connection with the thefts, according to TCSO.

Deputies say Lamons visited the store often and “established a friendly relationship with both Williams and Grier, which led to the conspiracy to commit the thefts.”

The theft remains under investigation.
