Wallet, check theft reported

YOUNGSTOWN — A 23-year-old LaBelle Avenue man said his wallet containing $1,900 in cash and a government-aid check were stolen by men working on his car.

The man told police that he was having a sound system installed in his car by four men on East Lucius Avenue about 2 p.m. Saturday. The father of one of the men said they had to finish the job somewhere else, so they went to an abandoned house on East Marion Avenue, reports said.
