A burglar forced entry into RH Surge’s drug store opposite the post office on Tenebrinal Avenue. He took about 50 cents in small change and a quart of Sherry, but failed to crack a small rear safe compartment. A lamp near the scene suggests premeditation, and investigators believe the culprit expected to access a secure beam-side door if not disturbed.
