Show Three Delta Firms Burglarized On Sunday Night Burglars broke into three Delta firms Sunday taking' cash and -checks amounting to $1200 from the Utah Poultry Producers Association As-sociation which suffered the largest larg-est loss. Moody Brothers seed plant was robbed of about $23.00 and D. Stevens, although broken into, was not robbed of anything that could be found from a hurried check up. The Utah Poultry plant was broken into by prying open a double set of doors and entering the office through the air-conditioning vent. A small strong box was imbedded in concrete and this was broken away so they could take the whole box and contents. As closely as could be figured there was $927. in the box, of which a little over $200 was in cash. About $300 in cream checks was also taken here. D. Stevens & Company was broken brok-en into by shoving a pole through one of the sky. lights and then sliding down" the pole into the warehouse. The burglars worked on the safe trying to beat off the lock, but gave that up. Nothing was missed from the store and that was attributed to the fact that the door locks are of such a nature that they can only be opened open-ed from the inside with a special key. The robbers were confined to take what could be carried up the pole as they left, and so they took nothing. The Moody Brothers seed plant was also entered that night and $23 taken there. The safe is always unlocked and the keys to the various var-ious sections in plain sight The burglars didn't use the keys, but forced the doors of the sections and a cash bax. Their damage to the safe was far greater than the actual money they took. This is the third series of burglaries burg-laries within a short time in Delta, ; as but two weeks ago the Ashby Implement Company and the Curtis Motor Company were burglarized. Officers believe that the burglar- ' ies are being done by local people from the fact that they are happening hap-pening so often, and also because in most instances the burglaries ; ; have been somewhat amateurish. j |
