A Vicksburg woman was being sought for embezzlement and a Vicksburg man was charged with grand larceny after the woman reported she was robbed while attempting to make a bank deposit.

A third person, identified as the woman’s boyfriend, was being sought on charges of grand larceny and conspiracy to commit a crime.

Lt. Bobby Stewart of the Vicksburg Police Department said officials at first believed the woman, later identified as Shanelle Burden, 27, 4920 Fisher Ferry Road, Apartment 58, had been held up by a stranger as she attempted to make a deposit of $15,000 at Trustmark National Bank on U.S. 61 North.

The stranger, Antoine Scott, 24, 1235 W. Magnolia St., approached her at 12:36 p.m. as she attempted to deposit cash from a Kangaroo convenience store and gas station at Mississippi 27 and U.S. 80, she told police. She said  he took the money and ran across U.S. 61 and got into a blue Saturn with another man.

“A witness followed the vehicle to Waltersville Estates while on the phone with 911,” Stewart said.

Scott was identified as the driver, and the other suspect fled the vehicle on foot in the apartment complex, and he and Burden remained on the run this morning, Stewart said. The second man was identified as Jamal Stowers, 21, last known address 30 Kings Drive.

Scott was being held on $10,000 bond at the Warren County Jail, Stewart said.

Burden will also be charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, Stewart said.
