AMHERST, Va. (AP) - The call reporting a stolen vehicle came in to the Amherst County Sheriff’s Office on Jan. 8 - and whoever took the truck also stole birthday presents for a girl turning 2 the next day.
Deputy S. W. Martin, a seven-year employee with the Amherst County Sheriff’s Office, jumped on the case.
Whitney Edwards, an Amherst resident and mom of three, had just bought a scooter and ball pit for her daughter Alyza Tyree’s second birthday.
