Thieves Steal Wire, Mobile Home Tie-Downs

Several people are listed as suspects in a series of break-ins at renal mobile homes in Wilkes owned by a Boone company. Roger Wright reported the burglaries to the sheriff's office Wednesday. He said several homes at Byrd Ridge Terrace had been broken into, and copper wiring was cut out. In other homes, the thieves removed furniture and fixtures, and the tie downs and underpinnings on one of the homes was stolen. Some of the other residents of the park identified at least three suspects, including 17-year old Bradley Myron Little, who has some previous history with law enforcement. Total value of the loss is six-thousand dollars. The case remains under investigation.
