According to reports at the CPSO, at a residence in the 100 block of Carolyn Drive two unlocked vehicles were burglarized, and two pistols were taken.

A single vehicle each was burglarized at two residences in the 100 block of Terry Circle.

A pistol was taken from one on the vehicles.

One residence in the 200 block of Terry Circle was reported as burglarized.

At another residence in the same block three vehicles were burglarized.

Likewise, a vehicle in the 300 block of Terry Circle was burglarized.

A vehicle burglary was reported on Moose Lodge Road Saturday.

The CPSO is investigating the matter, Sheriff Randy Maxwell said.
