Manchester Police officers responded to KK’s Music, Loans and Jewelry at 808 Hillsboro Blvd on Saturday morning just after 6am. This was the fourth time they had reported to the business for a burglar alarm since early that morning. Officers on the night shift did notice a window up around the back of the building but it was inside a fenced in area.
Upon entering the building Officer Dale Robertson found a glass case had been broken into by breaking the glass in two spots. Robertson and Captain Victor Jones searched through the building finding an interior back door had been broken by the use of a large sledgehammer, plus in the area of the damaged door was a bent screwdriver and open pocket knife. The back room of KK’s was found as a possible entry point and a window was discovered with the bottom glass broken out. Outside Officer Robertson found an extension ladder leaning against the building with grass push down on the other side of the fence near the ladder.
Manchester Police Investigator Jackie Matheny was contacted and he responded to the scene.
An employee did an inventory on hand guns finding a total of 8 guns missing. The total loss was around $1,400.
The investigation is continuing as police try to find the perpetrator or perpetrators that are responsible for the burglary/breaking and entering.
