Police: Pest control employee steals from customers

Police said a man who worked for a pest control company out of Harrodsburg, Ky., was stealing from customers.

Investigators said if Jeffery Sizemore did work at your home, it's possible he may have stolen from you.

Police said Sizemore would mostly steal jewelry from his customers, then pawn them off.

It's something that police believe went by unnoticed by many who likely thought their necklace or bracelet was just misplaced.

One Spencer County couple took notice after discovering a treasured heirloom was missing.

"It was an heirloom piece that I got her when we first married. It was a locket with pictures of our children and grandchildren. That's what upset her the most," said Rich Eshman.

When Eshman and his wife realized that locket was missing, fingers immediately pointed to the only other person who had been in their home.

"You feel violated and you feel angry," Eshman said.

Sizemore worked for Orkin Pest Control and police don't believe it's the first time he sprayed for bugs then walked away with his customers' stuff.

Not even a month after police said Sizemore stole jewelry from the Eshmans, they said he hit another home in Spencer County, stealing prescription pills and they now believe he's tied to many thefts in Lexington, Bardstown and Taylorsville.
