Apartment tenants report pair of burglaries
Residents of The Links at Lincoln apartment complex reported two burglaries police believe happened Friday evening.
Certificates of deposit valued at $10,000, electronic items and jewelry were taken from one apartment at the complex on Fletcher Avenue, just east of U.S. 34. The value of items taken from the apartment was estimated to be $17,000.
Burglars may have been interrupted during the second burglary as police arrived at the scene of the first break-in.
A glass window was smashed at another apartment in the complex, though nothing was stolen. Damage to the window is estimated at $100. Saturday afternoon, the window was still unrepaired, covered by duct tape and cardboard.
At least 22 burglaries have been reported at the Links since August. Losses and damages total at least $36,240 and $1,345, respectively.
Links management referred questions to its company’s main office in Fayetteville, Ark. An official there Saturday said he was waiting until Monday to comment.
