Jefferson woman implicated in multiple thefts
A Jefferson woman was arrested in Winder Thursday night after being detained in the parking lot of the local YMCA by one of her alleged theft victims. Raemonda Inscho, 38, was reportedly charged with six counts of theft by receiving stolen property, two counts of entering a motor vehicle to commit theft, one count each of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possession and use of drug-related objects.
A search of her Jackson County home netted two truck loads of stolen items, according to a report in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. This reportedly included 49 debit and credit cards, checkbooks, identifications, electronics, computers, a credit card machine and drugs. Inscho was arrested after allegedly breaking into a car and stealing several items in Winder.
According to the Winder Police Department, a man at the YMCA found on his vehicle’s front seat an iPhone that didn’t belong to him. He took the phone inside the YMCA and was in the process of turning it in at the front desk when two things happened.
First, his wife called his cell phone to tell him she had just called police after discovering several items missing from their vehicle. Then, a frantic woman ran into the lobby, grabbed the phone from him and ran out of the building.
“Suspecting that this female could be the same person who had also taken his belongings, the man ran after the woman and restrained her in the parking lot until police arrived,” according to a release from the Winder Police Department.
The alleged thief, 38-year-old Raemonda Inscho, told police she was “just trying to feed her children,” but police found in her car — which was parked in a handicapped space in the parking lot off Brad Akins Drive — a “make-up bag that contained a large quantity of a crystal-like substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine.”
After Inscho indicated there was stolen property in her car’s trunk, police used her keys to open it and the man quickly identified several items that belonged to him. Police towed the woman’s car to the police department and found in bags dozens of driver’s licenses, credit and debit cards, cell phones, GPS devices, and other items.
Inscho allegedly admitted to stealing items from 12 autos, but police found evidence of even more thefts. She appeared to be under the influence of a narcotic but claimed the drugs found in her car had been left there by someone else.
However, police ask any other victims of recent thefts from autos to contact their respective law enforcement agencies in Barrow, Jackson, Banks, Clarke and Oconee counties. Those agencies are working with Winder police in attempting to locate other possible victims based on the addresses found on the driver’s licenses that were recovered.
Winder victims are asked to contact detective Greg Teatino at 678-425-6873.

Great job law enforcement. Of course innocent until proven guilty. No trial here.

I was a victim of this lady as was my mother and my sister. My sister is a single mother trying to make it. My mother has been homeless on and off for the past 20 years - barely making it. I am the mother of 3 also trying to help my mother not become homeless again. I feel for those struggling just trying to make it "just trying to feed her children" - but you know what? We do not own an iPhone! Pathetic lady. Have a heart. Your victims are people who are just trying to feed their children.

in addition to above...btw. Regarding the home in which this lady broke into - the people she robbed were in the midst of moving because of job loss, which was about to make one of the dwellers homeless - again - my mother, a 60-year-old woman. I hope that she or someone she knows reads this because she needs to know that the people she is robbing from are struggling too and what a selfish act and hurtful. We are good people and are always willing to give and help but I will be honest, when somebody takes from you - it diminishes your faith in people and so the less and less I will be willing to help someone. What a shame.
