Theft from Dallas County district clerk's vault
DALLAS, TX
Sheriff's investigators say the money was taken from the
district clerk's vault at a courthouse.
The Dallas Morning News reports District Clerk Gary Fitzsimmons
says the theft apparently happened last weekend and appears to be
an inside job.
Authorities found no sign of forced entry. The loss includes
money paid to Dallas County by felons who owe fines and court
costs.
Fitzsimmons says insurance will cover the loss and he no longer
uses the vault. The clerk's office is getting a new safe.
