The Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers program needs your help to solve a case that illustrates how criminals know no boundaries. Early in June 2013, a woman from Rochester Hills, Mich., was contacted by the fraud department of Kohl's. They noticed some unusual activity on her account, and asked if she had made purchases from one of their stores in Chesterfield. She had not. Apparently, a female suspect used the victim's Social Security number to access her credit account and made two separate purchases at the Kohl's at 11331 Midlothian Turnpike. Upon further investigation, it was learned that additional fraudulent purchases were made from the Old Navy in Chesterfield Towne Center and at the Best Buy in Colonial Heights. In total, the victim had more than $2,000 in charges made to her accounts. Security footage from Kohl's revealed a white female suspect in her 50s or 60s, with long brown and gray hair and the same light-colored eyebrows. If you have information about ANY unsolved crime in, or fugitive wanted by, Chesterfield County or the city of Colonial Heights, call Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660.

False reports

COAL TOWNSHIP - James W. Horne, 43, of 162-A Fifth St., Ranshaw, was charged by Patrolman Matthew Hashuga with false alarms to public safety agencies, unsworn falsification to authorities, false reports to law enforcement agencies and recklessly endangering another person involving a May 11 incident at his apartment.

At about 3:45 a.m., police said Horne called his sister, Mary Jean Gula, at her home and told her he was attacked inside his apartment by a man with a knife who stabbed him across the torso. Horne told his sister he fired a single gunshot into a wall to scare the intruder off.

Gula then relayed the information to the Northumberland County 911 Center, who dispatched police and emergency personnel to the apartment. Police said it was later learned that Horne lied about being attacked and stabbed.

Police said Horne did fire a single bullet from a handgun inside his apartment that traveled through the east wall toward occupied homes in the neighborhood. Police said the bullet could have caused death or serious injury had it struck someone.
