Three people were arrested in connection to a robbery at the Salem, AR laundromat.
According to court documents filed on Monday, authorities were called on March 5 to the Salem laundromat in reference to a criminal mischief complaint.
When police arrived on the scene, the owner of the laundromat stated three people entered the building early in the morning on March 5, drilled holes into his coin-operated game machine, and stole approximately $150 in quarters from the machine.
The owner stated it would cost near $100 to fix the machine.
After showing the damages to authorities, surveillance footage was viewed, clearly showing three suspects involved in the theft.
Due to numerous interactions with two of the suspect, authorities identified two male suspects as 50-year-old Lonnie Strauser and 30-year-old Thomas Musgrove.
The third suspect was a female later identified as 45-year-old Pamela Strauser.
In the video, it shows Pamela standing in front of the machine as if she was using it, while the two other males stood on each side of the machine blocking the camera as holes were drilled and the money was taken from the machine.
The owner told authorities he received a call from another customer who stated the three suspects left in a vehicle that matched the description of one owned by Lonnie Strauser.
Lonnie was currently out on bond for a theft at a laundromat and car wash in Baxter County.
All three are charged with felony breaking or entering, misdemeanor theft of property less than $1,000, and misdemeanor criminal mischief.
Lonnie Strauser’s bond was set at $10,000, Thomas Musgrove is being held on $5,000, and Pamela Strauser’s bond was set at $2,000.
