Value House Hit By Thieves Again
Sometime during the night the Value House at Five Points Biddeford was broken into by what police say may be the same burglars. A 16 by 21 inch roof hole was cut to gain entry and the safe cracked open. Diamonds watches and a mined amount of money were taken. Officers Morin Friary and Hooper lead the investigation with the theft carried in 11 luggage pieces. Lt. Friary noted a strong possibility the same bandits struck three weeks ago. The Value House representatives refused to release details.
