Burglary at Harden and Helber Market Stuns Logan
Police seek clues after a Sunday night burglary at Harden and Helber Market in Logan. The thieves cracked the safe, took about $10,000 in cash and checks, wore gloves, and left without fingerprints found. Investigators from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification noted a similar method used in a Ross County case. A dark blue car was seen nearby around 10 p.m., but details were vague. The exact hour is unknown and the looters were believed to work nearly an hour. No evidence ties former employees to the crime, though observers say the burglars watched the store several times to locate the safe.
