The Logan County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a burglary on Thursday, Dec. 20, of a home on Schley Road in Logan County.

The incident occurred between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. while the residents were away from home. The back door was forced open for a point of entry and several firearms were taken along with some jewelry.

This burglary is believed to be connected to other area burglaries in which suspects are committing “smash and grab” types of crimes. The suspects are not thought to be targeting any one area or homes, nor are they thought to be trying to confront the homes’ occupants. They make entry, take items quickly and leave the area quickly in unknown vehicles.

Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to contact the Logan County Sheriff's Department at 726-2244 or Crimestoppers.
