Police: Woman Stole Julia Child Cookbooks From Concord, NH Bookstore
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE (CBS) - Police are seeking a woman who allegedly stole multiple Julia Child cookbooks from a Concord, New Hampshire bookstore.
Officers were called to Gibson's Bookstore on Main Street on Monday about a past theft.
The manager told police that the store had a problem with some missing Julia Child cookbooks.
He reported 15 books were missing worth about $500.
After reviewing surveillance video, the manager discovered that an older woman took two books from a shelf and stuffed them under her skirt before leaving the store on April 7.
