Tips sought in Hartford burglary

Saturday, March 7, 2009

Small holes and handwritten names of customers on currency could help authorities track whoever burglarized a Hartford business last week.

Woody's Food & Spirits tavern in Hartford was burglarized overnight Thursday to Friday last week, according to Lyon County Undersheriff Richard Old.

Two cash registeres and about $250 in cash was taken.

"Some of the currency had the names of customers written on it and had a small hole punched in it where it had been stuck to the ceiling with toothpicks," Old said.

Authorities are asking anyone who receives currency with small holes in it and a name written on it to hold onto the currency and call the sheriff's office at 342-5545, their local law enforcement or Lyon County Crimestoppers at 342-2273 as quickly as possible and report the source of the money.
