Burglary Case In Coal Run Remains Unsolved

Local officers say leads exist and hope to identify suspects, discounting sleeping powder theories as no such substances were found. State police defer to locals due to staffing, while county detective William J. Moore stays busy elsewhere. No new burglaries were reported, suggesting the thieves may be amateurs or have fled.
