Close Call For Senior In Hampton

This story will serve as a reminder that no matter where you live or whether your home, it never hurts to keep your doors locked. A 72-year old woman in Hampton got quite a scare yesterday when she walked into her living room and found two men standing there.

They told her they were there to ask about a vehicle she had for sale in her yard. They didn't wait for an answer, jumped into the green half ton pick-up they were driving and took off toward Norton. One man is described as 60-years old and wearing a plaid shirt and a black ball cap. The other man is 40-years old and was wearing an orange and white t-shirt.
