Thief takes donation canister

Each year, the Pulaski County Sheriff’s raises funds to take children shopping at Christmas. A piece of the fundraising effort is placing donation canisters at businesses throughout the county. Sheriff Jimmy Bench reports that someone has stolen one of the donation canisters that was placed at the Oasis Truck Plaza outside of Richland. Sheriff Bench reported that they have video footage, and the suspect was with a woman and two minor children. The suspects were in an older van and the back left passenger window is covered with plastic. A picture of the suspect and vehicle is in this news story on My Ozarks Online.com.
