“The burglaries were committed while the office was closed. The suspect(s) broke into the office either late at night or during the early morning hours,” Crime Stoppers coordinator PO2 Jason Tarkong said.
The burglaries occurred on Nov. 10 and 11.
Tarkong said the suspects stole over $1,500 worth of tools.
During the first incident, stolen were a car jack, a bushcutter, a Black & Decker sander, a Black & Decker paint sprayer, a Makita drill set, beer, sodas, snacks and a black Nokia cell phone.
The following night, burglars broke into the office again, this time stealing a car battery and an adjustable wrench.
Tarkong said the Department of Public Safety and Crime Stoppers are seeking help from the public.
