Burglary and Fire at Salvage Business Near Mexico
Audrain Sheriff Bud Riley said a 6 27 pm call opened an investigation into a burglary and arson at a salvage business nine miles from Mexico. A cutting torch and two fuel tanks were moved from a body shop to near a safe, which had a hole cut but not opened. State Fire Marshal Robert Morrison aided in the probe. The time of the break-in is unknown, and investigators are weighing the burglary and arson theory. The business owner plans to remain at the current site across the railroad tracks south of Highway 22 as district boundaries shift.
