Mail Theft, 3900 block of Kings Way

A resident left mail out for collection.  It was payment for a bill.  Monday was a holiday, so there was no mail pick up.  Over the course of the day/evening, the letter was stolen from the mailbox.  The remnants were recovered by another neighbor on Louisiana Street and returned to the owner.

[Note:  If a check was in the envelope, you will want to call the bank and have them cancel the account, or give it a new number.  The information strip at the bottom of the check can be placed on forged checks and used to drain your account with made up personal information--it's the strip at the bottom that matters and the store will not realize before your money is gone.]

Burglars broke the window of a work truck and proceeded to steal the contents.  The owner was alerted to the action and chased the two criminals towards Emigh Hardware.  The Sheriff's department was called and  responded.  At least one suspect was apprehended. (The suspect in custody was reportedly  released on parole within the last few weeks).  The vehicle the  burglars used was left in front of the victim's residence with the keys still in the ignition.  The victims asked the responding deputies to search the vehicle and the stolen tools were in the trunk.
