A Berkeley County woman was arrested Sunday morning after allegedly stealing a bank bag containing more than $6,000 from the Hot Spot Cafe No. 3 Saturday night in Bunker Hill.
Rhonda G. Hernandez, 47, of Triton Lane, Bunker Hill, was subsequently arraigned on one count of felony grand larceny.
According to court records, Berkeley County Sheriff's Deputy A. Burns responded Saturday to a call reporting a robbery that had just occurred at the business on Winchester Avenue in Bunker Hill.
When he arrived, Burns spoke with employees of the business, who said that a regular customer, later identified as Hernandez, had been talking throughout the day about stealing money from them or falsely calming jackpots from slot machines because she needed money to pay her bills, records show.
One of the employees told police that she received a call from Hernandez after she got off duty, stating the woman told her that she had taken money from the business and was offering to split it with her. The employee then contacted a manager and they went to the business, and it was confirmed that a bank bag containing a large sum of money was missing. They then called Hernandez and told her to return the money, which she did.
Burns then spoke with Hernandez, who admitted to taking the money bag from behind a counter. Hernandez returned all but $250. Another officer then drove her to her residence where she retrieved the remaining money. The total amount stolen was determined to be $6,650. If convicted of grand larceny, Hernandez faces one to 10 years in prison.
