No Camera and Lights at Business Break-In

Sometimes even fences and security cameras don’t deter criminals from breaking in and stealing property.  In a report filed with the Wilkesboro Police this week, the owner of The Welding Company on Old HWY 421 called about a theft.  Some unknown offenders entered a fenced in area and took property valued at nearly 2000 dollars.  The two subjects were seen on video camera but were able to conceal their identity with hoods and even changed the angle of the security camera.  The property that is behind a fence and secured with locked gates was entered and two sets of welding machine leads which is 700 feet of welding leads were stolen.  One gate was found without a lock.  It is believed the thieves cut off the lock and took it with them.  The police are still investigating.
