December 20, 2016

A Molino woman is accused of stealing wedding rings and collectible coins from her grandfather and then pawning them.

Valerie Leigh Sanderson, 29, was charged with grand theft and dealing in stolen property,  both felonies.

Investigators said she unlawfully entered her grandfather’s home on Molino Road to take the jewelry and coins. An arrest report notes that she would normally have access to her grandfather’s home, but did not reside there and had no permission to remove any property.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said she stole and later pawned or sold two 14K yellow gold wedding rings, 230 silver war nickels and one American Gold Eagle Coin.

The wedding rings were not recovered; they were pawned for their weight in gold. The grandfather was able to remover the coins after they were sold to another dealer in Louisiana.
