$10K Stolen from Home, Police Say
Nearly $10K was stolen from a home, according to a recent police blotter, which raises the question: How much money is too much to have around the house?
Nearly $10,000 was reported stolen from a Bristol Borough home among other items, according to a recent police blotter.
A home on the 800 block of Pine Street in Bristol was burglarized, according to a March 8 police blotter. Someone reportedly stole a 47 inch Vizio TV, a Cannon Rebel camera, and XBox 360 with games, a Playstation with games, an assortment of gold and silver jewelry, a motorcycle jacket, a Bose sound dock, CDs, a Playstation Vita with games, a D2Pad Android, a weed whacker, and a power drill, in addition to $9,400, the report said.
