Weekend break-ins net Indiana thief for soap loot
A string of early morning burglaries in Indiana left police puzzled as a presumed amateur thief stole only soap products. Break-ins targeted Brookville Glove Factory Altman’s Feed Store and two highway freight trailers with five boxes of soap powder and ten bars of toilet soap taken. A witness spotted a short man in a jacket with a flashlight near Daugherty Lumber Co prompting a manhunt that led to further break-ins at the glove plant and a warehouse lot on Eleventh and Water streets. Police traced the suspect to the glove factory and feed store but found no one inside and tracked wet footprints to the feed store where a window was broken to gain entry. Investigations continued as officers guarded exits and searched the scene.
