2 men, 1 woman face theft charges

CAMPBELL -- Police charged two city men and a Boardman woman with breaking and entering after witnesses reported seeing two of them remove items from a vacant Tremble Avenue house.
Tamara George, 45, of South Avenue, and Wilbur Pletcher, 24, of Tenney Avenue, and Robert Tordray, 28, of Devitt Avenue, are to appear today in Campbell Municipal Court.
Witnesses called police Wednesday evening to report seeing two people removing items from the home. When police stopped the car, George and Tordray, who were inside, told police they had been hired to clean out the house. They said Pletcher hired them.
Pletcher told police that he'd been hired by the landlord, and that Pletcher hired George and Tordray to help him. The person Pletcher identified as the landlord isn't the property owner, and the landlord said he didn't hire them.
The homeowner then arrived and told police the house has been vacant since November 2005 after a kitchen fire. Police found a window broken in the back of the house and think that was the entry point.
A police report said a purse, coat and two compact discs that had been taken from the house were found in the car in which George and Tordray were traveling.
