Police: Duo stole tools, tried to sell to victim

[April 13, 2011]  YORK, Pa. (AP) -- Police say two people swiped tools from a central Pennsylvania home then unwittingly tried to sell them back to their owner at his place of employment.

West York Police say the victim was approached by two people at a service center March 24 trying to sell him some tools. The victim thought the toolbox looked familiar and went home to find he'd been robbed.

Police tell The York Dispatch they soon arrested 34-year-old Cody Lee Littrell, of Hanover, and 32-year-old Rebecca Erinn Dice, of Dillsburg. Both face charges including theft and receiving stolen property.

Littrell is free on bail. A phone number for him could not immediately be located Tuesday. Dice remains behind bars.
