Dim Crims: Woman accused of using her fingerprint to gain $6000

Ariel Sinclair, 23, is accused of stealing nearly $6,000 in cash from the Virginia State Lottery.“If you’re providing your fingerprint to access [the] machine I have no idea how, in your mind, you’re thinking you’re going to get away with this,” said Adam Bernstein of the Virginia Beach Police Department.  They say she used her own fingerprint to gain access to a Rite Aid lottery machine and the cash inside, a blunder that pointed police in her direction, said Bernstein.  Sinclair has been charged with embezzlement.   [ Source]    [BJS]
