On Tuesday, Oct. 1, police were called to Washington Circle for a report of a breaking and entering. The reporting party said he left for Connecticut at about 7:30 p.m. on September 30 and returned home Tuesday at about 4:30 p.m. to discover that his home was broken into and several items were stolen.

Police noticed several doors and cabinets open as they walked through the house. The resident said when he left for his trip, the doors were all closed.

The man’s ex-wife arrived at the home and said that earlier in the day she arrived to pick up her mail and found that all of the doors and cabinets were open, so she called her ex-husband to tell him that she believed it to be suspicious.
