An anonymous tip led to the arrest of a woman who attempted to rob the Fisher Auto Parts store in Rainelle.
On December 22, a West Virginia State Trooper was dispatched to the Fisher Auto Parts store on Main Street at approximately 5:15 p.m. after someone called and stated that a person was trying to break into the store, according to the criminal complaint filed in Greenbrier County.
Upon arrival, the trooper noticed that the lock to a set of double doors on the side of the building had been broken off, the complaint states. When the trooper entered through the doors, a small hatchet was lying on the floor, a metal grate covering an interior window had been partially removed and movement could be heard within the store.
Shortly after, a woman, later identified as Skyler Dawn Lambert, was found inside the store, the complaint continues. She allegedly admitted to the officer that she had broken into the store because she was “desperate.” In her pocket was $14.75 that she said she took from an envelope that was lying on the counter.
Lambert was arrested and taken to Southern Regional Jail. She is being charged with one felony count of breaking and entering, one misdemeanor count of destruction of property and one misdemeanor count of petit larceny.
