“Florence Man Linked to Thefts in 5 Southern States; Christopher Lynn Timbes, 45, of Florence was taken into custody by FPD Detectives this morning and charged with two counts of felony theft of property. He is accused of opening cash registers at Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club in

with Wal-Mart’s Global Investigations Divisions traveled to Florence last week to assist in the investigation once Timbes was developed as a suspect in the case.
