DAYTON, OH (WDTN) – Dayton police are searching for a woman who allegedly stole money from a legally blind and deaf man.
It happened at 5:30 a.m. Friday at 1728 Stanley Avenue – the Plaza Motel in Dayton.
The victim told police that he and a friend were staying at a hotel room when they both fell asleep Thursday night. When the victim woke up, his friend was gone and his $300 was stolen – along with one of his hearing aids and his dark glasses.

The victim says he has been staying at the Gateway Shelter and wanted a night out.
