Alaska teens arrested after $189,000 is stolen from village store
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (MCT) — The village store in Kivalina, in Northwest Alaska, stocked up on $20s and $100s so residents could cash their Alaska Permanent Fund dividends starting this week.
But last week, $189,000 went missing from the store’s safe — an unusual crime in a village built on sand and surrounded by sea, tundra and a lagoon with no road out and almost nowhere to spend the money — except at the store itself.
