STAFFORD, Va. — Employees at Del’s Towing and Wrecker Service in North Stafford made a shattering discovery Friday morning – the glass door to their shop had been smashed.
Stafford County sheriff’s deputies were called to the businesses on Va. 610 just after 7:30 a.m., after employees found chards of glass broken. Nothing from the shop was stolen, said sheriff’s office spokesman Bill Kennedy.
It appears someone tried to get inside the shop between 6:30 p.m. Thursday and 7:30 a.m. Friday.
Investigators in Stafford are also looking into another burglary, this time after a homeowner told authorities someone broke into his house but waited to call 911 because he was busy.
Kennedy on Monday said someone broke into a home on Summer Breeze Lane in the Willow subdivision in south Stafford on April 23, and took a Macbook laptop computer, another laptop, and an Xbox gaming system. The homeowner called Stafford County’s sheriff’s office to report the theft Saturday. The homeowner waited until Saturday to report the crime because of a “busy schedule,” said Kennedy.
The theft was believed to have taken place between 1 and 8 p.m. April 23.
Deputies were also called to Max Kar Motors at 1707 Jefferson Davis Highway in Stafford after someone smashed a window on a parked Nissan Altima. The window was last seen in tact at 9:30 p.m. Thursday but was found smashed the following morning.
