A trio of senior citizens bilked a local convenience store out of over $6,000 in cash and merchandise after damaging gambling machines, according to Bulloch County sheriff’s reports. Deputy William Sims responded to a call about the theft, speaking to a man in charge Thursday at the Gateway Chevron convenience store on Hwy. 301 South, according to reports. Himanshu Patel told him a “large” elderly man with a cane, accompanied by two elderly women, one on crutches, spent about three hours playing on gambling machines located at the rear of the store.
