Event to prevent I.D. theft set for March

Kansans will have a chance in March to safely destroy documents they no longer need but contain personal information.

The Kansas Attorney General’s office and Jayhawk File Express and Document Resources Inc. of Topeka will conduct “shred-a-thons” in towns including Lawrence. On March 5 it will be in Lawrence from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa.

The shred-a-thon is one of several events planned by Attorney General Steve Six in conjunction with National Consumer Protection Week, March 1-7.
