Door to unoccupied home kicked in; police seek info

WEARE TWP. — The Oceana County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a break-in to an unoccupied home at 975 W. Washington Rd. that was reported Thursday, Aug. 13, said Lt. Craig Mast.

A neighbor boy saw that the home’s door was ajar, and his parents contacted the realtor who has the house listed for sale. Deputies met with the realtor, Mast said, and upon investigating the scene discovered the door had been kicked in. “Nothing is missing as the house is relatively empty,” Mast said.

Anyone with information about the break-in is asked to contact the sheriff’s office at 231-873-2121.
