Burglary Suspected as Thieves Target Riverside Bristol Homes
A Bristol report notes burglars struck several Riverside houses Tuesday night and possibly the same gang opened three homes Monday. Henr Talbeu, a carpenter at the Benjamin Church Home for Aged Men, found his tools missing then recovered most on the lawn, except a worn Gress suitcase used to haul loot. Residents, shaken by Tuesday’s incidents, have tightened security and cleaned revolvers in anticipation of further visits.
