Wilkes County Man Robbed While Sleeping

The scary thing is that the burglar came in while the man was asleep and robbed the safe in the bedroom.  In a report filed with the Wilkes Sheriff's Office, a Wilkes resident called when he discovered his home had been entered overnight.  The front door had been kicked in while he was asleep.  The robber then entered the victim's bedroom, cracked open the safe, and stole prescription medicine, cash, and a Smith & Wesson handgun.  Reportedly, the victim does suffered some hearing loss and did not hear the intruder.  The Wilkes Sheriff's Office does have a suspect in this robbery and charges are pending further investigation.  The victim was not harmed in the break-in and theft.
