Two saws, three hammers stolen
2:30 p.m. — First Block of Pine Haven Drive. Burglary Residential. A woman told police that her residence was unlawfully entered, and multiple items were stolen. The items that were taken include two white ceiling fans valued at $300 each, one hack saw valued at $25, one coping saw valued at $25, one rubber hammer valued at $35, one claw hammer valued at $25, and one mallet valued at $35.

The two ceiling fans were removed from the master and guest bedroom, and the tools were taken from the garage.

The deputy told the victim the point of entry was the front door to the garage because of pry marks on the door near the knob. Further entry was made through the garage door entering the kitchen. There was also a pry mark near the knob on that door. There were no visible fingerprints at the entry point or inside the house. There was no major damage done to the doors, so the residence can be re-secured. There are no suspects at this time.
