Burglary…..sometime over this last weekend between April 26 and 28, 2019, a house was burglarized at E16015 State Highway 82, which is just north of St. John’s Ave in the Town of Union between LaFarge and Hillsboro. While on this property, the suspect(s) damaged a door to the house, ransacked the inside and also smashed a car window.  Stolen in the burglary were two generic plastic peanut containers with silver change in them.  **Photos can be seen at www.vernoncrimestoppers.org or www.facebook.com/vernoncrimestoppers.  **Did you see a person or vehicle on this property over this last weekend?  If so, submit an anonymous tip!

It is our hope that details of this actual case from police records may cause someone to remember and report what they know about the person or persons involved. Tipsters may be eligible for cash rewards of up to $1,000.00 and will remain anonymous.
