HOUSTON, Mo. -- City police believe two women are responsible for stealing $23,000 worth of Missouri Lottery tickets. The suspects are from Bucyrus and Cabool.
Police say the thefts from the Bulls Eye store happened over time and began in May.
The store manager says she didn't know anything was missing until a friend working at another store up the road called after she noticed the same Bull's Eye employees coming in time and time again to cash in on Scratcher tickets.
A store audit discovered the missing tickets. The Texas County prosecuting attorney is reviewing the police report for possible charges.
